The panel was not able to indicate the budget amount allocated to TVT and Radio Lomé. But it is unanimous in asserting that the public broadcaster is not correctly funded. The State budget is allocated in instalments. The absence of budgetary autonomy has an effect on the editorial content and the quality of programmes on education, sport, theatre, religion etc. Resources provided by advertising are recovered and paid into the Public Treasury by a local treasury office.
