3.4 The state/public broadcaster is accountable to the
public through a board representative of society at
large and selected in an independent, open and transparent manner.
The Public Broadcaster, ORTM (L’Office de la Radio et Television Malagasy) is a
state broadcaster. It is a public body in its administrative setup run by a Director
General nominated by the Council of Ministers.
The board of directors has never been set up. There is a hierarchy from the
Director General to the Minister of Communication, which makes it impossible to
speak of independence under these circumstances.
