At the start of the presidential campaign, one of the country's national television stations, Telma, claimed that it faced unequal access to information and unfair competition in the media market and blamed this on the government.
Mwanzoni mwa kampeni ya Urais, moja wapo ya vituo vya televisheni vya kitaifa nchini humo, Telma, alidai kuwa ilikabiliwa na upatikanaji usio sawa wa taarifa na ushindani usio wa haki katika masoko ya vyombo vya habari na kuilaumu serikali.
