There will be broadcast legislation and there will be sanctions on broadcasters President Bharrat Jagdeo said without giving an indication as to when broadcast legislation and a broadcasting authority would be set up.
Asked at a press conference if it wasn’t the government’s responsibility to ensure there was adequate legislation to regulate television broadcasting given the current largely unregulated sector the President said it was the government’s responsibility and that the country would have broadcast legislation. However, he continued, “What we have here is not just an issue of law.”
