The Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Zambia Chapter has commended government for setting up a Media Institutions Support Funds (MISF) this year.
MISA Zambia Chapter Chairperson Henry Kabwe said the move by the government to set up the fund shows how committed it is in improving media operations in the country.
Mr. Kabwe told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that Media Institutions Support Funds are cardinal to the development of the media in the country.
Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Permanent Secretary (PS) Ngosa Chisupa announced that government had set aside a Media Institutions Support Funds that will be accessed by both public and private media institutions in the country.
ZANIS
Its very interesting that Govt has come up with a Media Support Fund. But one wonders why it had to take the Post MOU with PAZA for GRZ to see the need and hastly form the Media Support Fund. This shows why GRZ is always caught unaware on many issues of national importance. What next?
What ever they do they will not match the POAST unless they start telling the truth and start covering all Zambians instead of MMD alone. We want to know what is happening in our country not just praises for RB, Shikapwasha etc.
