3.5 Office bearers with the state and political parties as well as those with a financial interest in the broadcasting industry are excluded from possible membership on the board of the state/public broadcaster. The status of the RTG changes as ministers and government change. Without a board, the RTG functions like a unit within the Ministry of Communication. Plans to set up a board for the RTG have not been followed through. The broadcaster now consists of two totally autonomous administrative units, one in Boulbinet and the other in Koloma.

There is no law that would guarantee the editorial independence of the RTG. With the broadcaster being attached to and under the control of the Ministry of Communication, the question of its editorial independence does not even arise.
