HACA (HIGH AUTHORITY FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND AUDIOVISUAL): WE WILL CREASE DOWN IF THE MUD RISES TO OUR LEVEL.

On Wednesday March 9, 2022, an ordinance was issued by the President of the Republic HE Alassane OUATTARA to subject bloggers, influencers and activists to the same rules as journalists. The HACA (High Authority for Communication and Audiovisual) is at the initiative of this ordinance.

For the arrestation of Corine HAZOUME on January 17, 2019, HACA specifies that the president was not informed and that the media and the press published fake information. The statements made by complainant Fatim Sidibe to the Cocody gendarmerie brigade about the former Africa 24 consultant were false. The TV host behind this scandal has caused enormous damage to Corine HAZOUME and her family. The HACA transmits the forgiveness of the Ivorian authorities to Corine Hazoumé, founder of CerAfrique and Media consultant. Asks Him to forgive, heal, restore and advance good causes. Advise him to opt for peace and silence. She translates to this great media professional their congratulations and their pride for her last events and media interventions. Threatens to crack down if the mud rises to their level. The President of the Republic has issued an ordinance amending law number 867-2017 of December 27, 2017 on the legal regime of the press relating to content on the internet which is beyond the control of the ANP (National Press Authority and HACA).
