Dar es Salaam — The
Tanzania Communication Regulatory Authority (TCRA) has on Thursday
August 27 banned Clouds TV and Clouds FM for
Seven days with immediate
effect.
The authority said
in a press conference today that the station has been banned after it
announced election statistics that had not been approved by the National
Electoral Commission.
In a statement
released today the regulator said the Clouds TV and Clouds FM violated
the Code on political party elections broadcasting act of 2015 in their
'360' and 'Power Breakfast' morning programmes on Wednesday August 26.
As part of the
punishment the stations are required to air apology for the rest of
remaining hours of Thursday, August 27 before they start serving the ban
on August 28.
On Wednesday NEC
said the station had aired results that showed that certain Members of
Parliament aspirants had sailed through unopposed after other
contestants failed to meet nomination criteria in certain
constituencies.
Earlier this month
TCRA banned a radio programme (Jahazi) from the same station for
allegedly promoting immorality in the society.
