Although the country’s president appoints the chairman of the TCRA board, without any public involvement, panellists felt that it does have “some sort of autonomy and does not always follow the government line”. Board members are appointed by the Minister of Information, Youth, Culture and Sports. “The TCRA has an act, which guides and gives them independence from government.” People with possible links to the ruling, or other, political parties, are not excluded from membership to this regulatory body.
