Answer: A.     Because the president rules the country like adictator

 In African countries like Zimbabwe where corruption exists,the power has been converted to tyranny. Information deficit is fairly common.People do not have freedom of expression. Mass media like newspapers,television and radios cannot exercise this freedom thus not being able tofunction as the watchdog of the public. Investigative journalism almost doesnot exist.
