Call for Broadcasting Authority Board Nominations – Bill Watch 34/2017

The Broadcasting Services Act provides that 3 of the 12 members of the board of the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe [BAZ] must be appointed by the President from a list of 6 nominees submitted by Parliament’s Committee on Standing Rules and Orders.  At least one of these three members must be a woman [section, section 4(2)(b) and (3)].  The Committee has published an invitation to the public to nominate candidates for consideration by it.  All candidates must be Zimbabwean citizens and have integrity and experience and competence in broadcasting matters.

Deadline for submission of nominations to the Committee is 30th September.  The full text of Parliament’s invitation is on the Veritas website [link].
