Discussed
In response, Honorable Bana provided clarification on the matter raised by Honorable Obaob, explaining that the Council is just a consultative body and any involvement as a party would only happen in the presence of an opposing party and involved concerns in the local territory in which the broadcasting company will be operating, which would need consultation within the exercise of legislative powers. In addition, Honorable Culve shared his concern to the body that there had been a similar application involving a broadcasting company, however, they were unable to conduct a committee meeting due to the lack of contact numbers and address indicated.
