-----privatise the two flagship programmes, but there was no thought to how that will operate and where the savings would be as such. Normally, when you outsource to private sector, it is automatically more expensive. The outside broadcast unit was sold some years ago. It was a good deal initially, but when they realised they had a monopoly, the price rocketed. Are we making the same mistake again this time around?
