Vision 4-CNC Case: Journalist Timothée Essomba Criticizes Mincom's Method and Defends Regulator's Autonomy

Timothée Essomba analyzed the ongoing conflict between the National Communication Council (CNC), the Ministry of Communication, and Vision 4 during the show Le Grand Oral on A1 TV. He stated that the CNC, placed under the Prime Minister, has operational, management, and financial autonomy, and is not under tutelage or hierarchical subordination. He suggested that for a more republican approach, the Ministry could have requested a review or arbitration from the Prime Minister instead of acting unilaterally. Essomba emphasized that the institutional structure of the CNC promotes coordination rather than direct authority.
