3.4 The decisions of the organ on the attribution of licences, in particular, are guided by an audio-visual communication policy being designed in a transparent and inclusive manner. Analysis: Ordinance no. 92-337/P-CTSP authorizing the creation of private audio-visual communication services already specifies certain aspects regarding the attribution of frequencies. There are about 180 radios installed and broadcasting in the country. The commission of frequency attribution is heterogeneous and working with relative objectivity. In order to respond to political demands and increasingly pressing demand, the state tends to submit different media laws for proof-reading.
