The article highlights the frequent use by government officials—including the Prime Minister, ministers, and others—of the phrase "close source" to provide clarifications on controversial issues, instead of communicating directly through official statements and relevant institutions. This practice raises questions about how widespread its use is and whether it meets the standards of transparency and credibility, especially in matters related to public administration and institutional reputation. Examples are provided involving the Minister of Housing, the Minister of Fisheries, and the Prime Minister, where anonymous sources have been relied upon to present alternative narratives to official statements. This situation casts doubt on the role and importance of standard government communication in ensuring clarity of information and maintaining public trust. The article emphasizes the need for institutional communication based on official documents and clear statements, particularly in cases involving potential conflicts of interest or sensitive issues. Relying on "close sources" diminishes transparency and risks misleading the public.
