2.2 Citizens’ access to domestic and international media sources is not restricted by state authorities.
Citizens are generally free to access local and foreign media sources, unhindered
by state restrictions. The Newspaper Act of 1976 permits the president to ban
foreign publications, but there has been no such action in the last two years.
In fact, panellists felt there was too much foreign content on local television
stations, with rebroadcasts of parts of CNN, CCTV, BBC and a Russian channel,
on various local stations including the state-run broadcaster.
“Our airtime is supposed to have local content but it is filled with foreign
programming!”
