Step-by-step explanation:

Pros:

Might think everything is under control

Doesn't want to put more stress on citizens

Doesn't want people to worry about their future in case of war

Cons:

People don't know until last minute when things go wrong

Kept under a rock

Rumors may circulate and without proper answer, may begin to become exaggerated.

Will put stress once found out if it's something bad.
