Media Body Saddened by Lack of Consultation by the Government on the Media Development Policy

The Zambia Institute of Independent Media Association ZIIMA has bemoaned the lack of consultations by government on the implementation of the first ever Media Development policy.

ZIIMA consultant Wilson Pondamali says government should have considered engaging the private sector in the formulation so as to have the agenda implemented and welcomed by all.

He said this in an interview with Mafken FM today. Government yesterday announced the first media policy that sets out the vision and mission to promote freedom of expression by guaranteeing press freedom
