Tanzania Communication Agency bans radio and TV stations for violating regulatory law

The Tanzanian Communication Agency has suspended the licenses of six television and 21 radio stations for failing to pay regulatory fees.  

The agency says that it issued a payment notice to 40 stations last July, but only 13 have paid the fees, hence the order for the remaining 27 stations to stop broadcasting.  But the Media Council of Tanzania,MCT, has criticized the decision saying the move infringes the public right to information.
