Acting Prime Minister, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum is expected to comment today on certain statements and reports about the conditions allegedly set out for the renewal of Fiji Television Limited’s broadcast license.
The International Federation of Journalists and the Pacific Freedom Forum claim that the government has raised concern about the coverage given to the “opposition” by Fiji TV.
The people in the opposition lineup according to these organizations include Laisenia Qarase, Mahendra Chaudhry and others.
The international federation and the Freedom Forum say in their statements that the management of Fiji TV has been put on notice that all the station’s content will be monitored this month and will influence the decision regarding the renewal of Fiji TV’s broadcasting license, due at the end of this month.
Sayed-Khaiyum maintains he will comment to us today.
We have also sent questions to Fiji TV Chairman, Isoa Kaloumaira.
