UTM president Dalitso Kabambe has questioned the apparent lack of coverage of Vice-President Jane Ansah by state media, calling for balanced coverage of public officials.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Kabambe questioned why Ansah, despite holding a constitutional mandate, was not receiving coverage by the publicly funded national broadcaster.
“So, Minister of Information: why is a Vice-President Jane Ansah with a constitutional mandate not being covered by MBC, the publicly funded national broadcaster under your ministry?” Kabambe asked.
He argued that the state media should serve the interests of the nation rather than those of any political party or individual.
“MBC belongs to the nation, not to any political party or individual. It should serve the public by providing balanced coverage – not operate as a political tool,” he said.
Kabambe further stressed the importance of access to information in a democracy, saying citizens need fair access to information to understand issues affecting the country.
