The decision means officials will not recognize any rulings issued by the broadcast regulator. Government sources stated the action follows a series of resignations at the authority.

Background on the Dispute The high court had previously directed the government to maintain the regulator's operations. The cabinet's vote marks the first time such a directive has been defied in this manner. Officials cited the resignations, which sources linked to actions by the communications ministry, as the basis for the refusal to comply.
The regulator oversees broadcast licensing and content standards. Its continued operation had been mandated by the court order now set aside by the cabinet vote.
