PROCEDURE ADOPTED 5.

The media plays a vital role in the promotion of good governance, democracy upholding the rule of law, human rights, and development.

In that regard, the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation, as a public broadcaster, has the mandate to educate, inform and entertain the citizenry.
In this vein, the Corporation has the responsibility to provide information to all.

Given the important role ZNBC plays in ensuring timely and accurate dissemination of information to the public, and in promoting democracy and good governance, the Committee resolved that only competent persons with the requisite qualifications and experience should be appointed to the ZNBC Board.
The Committee further resolved that the persons should be of unquestionable integrity, diligence, eminence, and sound character and, above all, committed to the promotion of good governance, the rule of law and serving the people of Zambia.

Therefore, the Committee carefully selected the witnesses to assist it in the scrutiny of the nominees.

The Committee requested memoranda from the state security agencies, relevant professional bodies and the Appointing Authority.
The witnesses also appeared before the Committee to make their oral submissions.

Further, the Committee assessed the suitability of the nominees to serve in the various appointments by scrutinising, in detail, their curricula vitae and the information submitted to the Committee by the witnesses.
SUBMISSIONS BY STATE SECURITY AGENCIES ZAMBIA POLICE SERVICE (ZP) The Deputy Inspector-General in charge of operations submitted on the personal, 6. educational and professional background of the nominees as stated in their curricula vitae.

The Deputy Inspector General informed the Committee that a search conducted by its Criminal Records Department had not found any criminal or adverse record against the nominees.
In that regard, ZP, found the nominees suitable for appointment to serve as directors of the ZNBC Board.

2 ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMISSION (ACC) The Acting Director-Generalof the ACC submitted on the personal, educational and 7. professional background of the nominees as contained in their curricula vitae.

The Acting Director-Generalstated that the ACC’s submission was in line with its mandate as set out in the Anti-Corruption Act No.

3 of 2012.
3 of 2012.

In that regard, the ACC’s submission did not cover offences committed under any other law.

He explained that the information obtained on the nominees was based on the ACC’s database, which was a computerised database called the Case Management System.

The Acting Director-General added that the system stored information relating to any investigations the ACC had handled.

Additionally, it contained information such as the suspect’s details and the nature of the allegation.
The Acting Director-General submitted that a search on the ACC’s database did not yield any adverse record against the nominees.

In view of this, the ACC supported the appointment of the nominees to serve as directors of the ZNBC Board.

DRUG ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION (DEC) The Director-General submitted on the personal, educational and professional background 8. of the nominees as stated in their curricula vitae.
The Director-General informed the Committee that DEC searched its database to determine whether the nominees had contravened the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, No 35 of 2021 or the Prohibition and Prevention of Money Laundering Act No.44 of 2010.

She informed the Committee that although its mandate was restricted to the two pieces of legislation, DEC also considered the legal framework that provided for the appointment of the Board of Directors of ZNBC.
She noted that the Act did not include age as a qualification for appointment to the Board.

She, however, submitted that it was necessary to bring to the Committee’s attention the fact that some of the nominees were quite advanced in age.

The Director-General submitted that a record search conducted by DEC on the nominees had not yielded any adverse record against them.
She explained that the information contained on the database at DEC dated as far back as 1993, which was when the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act was enacted.

In that regard, DEC could only confirm the information in its database based on when the two (2) Acts were enacted.

The Director-General submitted that the nominees were suitably qualified for appointment to serve as directors of the ZNBC Board, and that, in that regard, DEC supported their appointment.
3 SUBMISSIONS BY PROFESSIONAL BODIES/STAKEHOLDER INSTITUTIONS FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE CENTRE (FIC) The Acting Director-General informed the Committee that FIC considered the legal 9. framework that provided for the appointment of the corporation’sboard and carried out background checks on each of the nominees, in the institution’s database.
She submitted that a check on the personal, business and professional associations of the nomineeson the database did not reveal any adverse information nor establish any prima facie questionable business interests linked to any of the nominees, whichcould preclude any of them from being appointed as directors of the ZNBC Board.

The Acting Director-General submitted that there were no pending suspicious transaction reports (STRs) or criminal records pertaining to the nominees.
The Acting Director-General concluded her submission by stating that FIC had no adverse record against all the nominees and, therefore, supported the appointments.

HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION (HRC) 10.

The Director submitted on the personal, educational and professional background of the nominees as stated in their curricula vitae.

She further submitted on each of the nominees as set out below.

Further, the nominee possessed a wealth of experience, having served as director in various institutions both under the private and public sector.

He would, therefore, be able to meet the demands of the appointment.
The nominee had presented key papers on important thematic areas such as the importance of creating and sustaining a successful brand.

In that vein, his academic proficiency would provide value addition beneficial to the enhancement of the Corporation’s image and brand as a national and public media, in line with the Corporation’s objectives.

In that regard, the HRC had no reservations with the nominee’s appointment.
(ii) Mrs Bernadette Chilufya Mwaba Phiri The nominee had a background of working in civil society and non-governmental organisations, particularly in the area of reproductive health and HIV/AIDS.

She possessed over twenty (20) years work experience in providing leadership, including starting up an NGO called Zambia Health Education and Communications Trust (ZHECT), where she currently served as Chief Executive Officer.
The nominee was versatile and possessed experience in consultancy work and self-initiatives, that incorporated print and broadcast media.

Among the nominee’s notable consultancy works were audience impact and user assessment of radio as a medium for dissemination of information, considering social, cultural, economic and financial factors published through PANOS Southern Africa.
4 The nominee would provide beneficial value to the enhancement of the Corporation’s operations by providing strategic direction through acquired skills and programme presentation.

In that regard, and taking cognisance of the nominee’s gender, the HRC supported the appointment.

(iii) Bishop Joseph Shapela Kazhila The nominee was a renowned clergyman with demonstrated history of working in the religious institutional industry.
The nominee had experience in organisations and institutional settings in which he performed, among other key responsibilities, procurement, management and supervision as well as information dissemination.

The Director noted that the nominee’s appointment promoted diversity in the composition of the proposed ZNBC Board and, therefore, supported his appointment.
(iv) Ms Ophelia Nyambe The nominee possessed vast experience in business, finance and risk, having worked in various capacities in the financial sector for over twenty (20) years.

Additionally, she possessed skills in corporate credit analysis and public relations acquired both locally and regionally.

The nominee’s major achievements included management of key projects in some of the institutions she had served.
In addition, the nominee had served under various boards such as the Public Service Pensions Fund Board, and, thus, possessed the necessary experience to navigate through the operations of the Corporation.

The HRC was, therefore, confident that the nominee’s experience was an important attribute, which would add value to the operations of the ZNBC.

The HRC took cognisance of the nominee’s gender and, therefore, had no reservations with her appointment.
(v) Mr NchimunyaHachandi The nominee was an experienced financial executive, with a demonstrated track record of having served in prominent companies.

He possessed academic proficiency which cut across the legal, accounting and financial fields.

The nominee also had a background in the governance of organisations at various levels, which included strategic business planning and taxation.
Those were key attributes, which would be beneficial in the operations and management of the Corporation with regard to financial oversight, and strategic direction, all of which were important responsibilities of ZNBC Board members.

The nominee had served as a board member of prominent institutions which primarily focused on providing broadcasting, information and communication services.

These included Multi Choice Zambia and MTN Zambia Limited.
The nominee’s experience in finance, information, communications and technology management would provide diversity to the operations of ZNBC in its quest to further enhance its service delivery to the citizenry.

In that regard, the HRC had no reservations with the nominee’s appointment.

In conclusion, the Director submitted that based on the HRC’s data base on human rights violations established in 2007, there were no adverse reports against any of the nominees.

THE ZAMBIA QUALIFICATIONS AUTHORITY (ZAQA) 11.

The Chief Executive Officer submitted that ZAQA was established to developand implement a national qualifications framework and provide measures to ensure that standards and registered qualifications were internationally comparable.
She added that, in line with its mandate, ZAQA was responsible for independently validating and evaluating all qualifications for recognition in Zambia.

She further submitted that the process of validating and evaluating qualifications included the following three stages: (a) (b) (c) establishing the accreditation status or recognition of the awarding body that conferred the qualification.
This stage sought to affirm that the awarding body, be it local or foreign, had the legal mandate or delegated authority from central government or from a government agency to award nationally recognised and quality assured qualifications; confirmation from the awarding body that the qualification was, indeed, genuinely awarded to the holder of the qualification; and establishing the level, on the Zambia Qualifications Framework (ZQF), at which a particular qualification should be recognised, considering set standards of competence for each level of qualification.
She added that the Zambia Qualifications Framework was a single integrated system which comprised three coordinated qualifications sub-frameworks for – (i) (ii) (iii) general education; trades and occupations; and higher education.

The Chief Executive Officer submitted that having considered the legal provisions relating to the nominees’ appointments, ZAQA subjected the qualifications of the nominees to the evaluation and validation process.

She stated that the results were as set out below.


7 (i) Mr MatoShimabale The nominee’s qualifications were authentic, and were duly awarded to him by credible institutions.

(ii) Mrs Bernadette Chilufya Mwaba Phiri The nominee’s qualifications were authentic, and were awarded by credible institutions.

However, ZAQA was unable to conclude the verification process of her Master of Business Administration qualification from Heriot-Watt University (United Kingdom) due to time constraints.
(iii) Bishop Joseph ShapelaKazhila The nominee’s qualifications were authentic, and were awarded by credible institutions.

However, ZAQA was unable to conclude the verification process of his Certificate in Distribution (Overseas) and Bachelor of Biblical Studies qualifications from College of the Distributive Trade (United Kingdom) and Ames Christian University (United States of America), respectively, due to time constraints.
(iv) Ms Ophelia Nyambe The nominee’s qualifications were authentic, and were awarded by credible institutions.

However, ZAQA was unable to conclude the verification process of her Bachelor of Science in Applied Accounting and Master of Business Administration qualifications from Oxford Brookes University (United Kingdom) and University of Witwatersrand (South Africa), respectively, due to time constraint.
(v) Mr NchimunyaHachandi The nominee’s qualifications were authentic, and were awarded by credible institutions.

(vi) Ms Jacqueline Chishimba The nominee’s qualifications were authentic, and were awarded by credible institutions.

(vii) Mr Dante Charles Saunders The nominee’s qualifications could not be authenticated as the nominee could not produce copies of his qualifications, save for a letter from Embakwe School Plumtree explaining that the papers were lost during the liberation struggle.
ZAQA had contacted the Zimbabwe Qualifications Authority to establish the status of Embakwe at the time and if its high school certificate would be acceptable in Zambia.

Unfortunately, ZAQA was unable to verify the qualification due to time constraints.

(viii) Mrs Jacqueline Milambo Kabeta The nominee’s school certificate and Bachelor of Arts degree were authentic and awarded by credible institutions.

However, ZAQA could not verify the foreign qualifications due to time constraints.
8 (ix) Mr Jack Kalala The nominee did not sit for the school certificate exams due to financial constraints.

Further, his post-secondary school certificates were classified as part qualifications, that is, single module awards and were not recognised by ZAQA.

Lastly, the nominee did not submit a copy of his Form III certificate for verification.
In that regard, ZAQA was unable to verify the authenticity of the certificate because certain vital information necessary for the process can only be obtained from the actual copy or original certificate.
The Chief Executive Officer concluded her submission by stating that on the basis of the genuine qualifications held by the nominees and in the absence of specific qualification requirements for one to serve on the ZNBC Board, ZAQA found that the nominees were suitable to serve as directors of the ZNBC Board.


TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL ZAMBIA (TIZ) 12.

The Democratic Governance Lead began his submission by emphasising that freedom of expression was regarded as the most important individual freedom.
Without it, all the other freedoms would be unable to endure for long.

He explained that freedom of expression was a right, embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

He added that the freedom of the press in the broad sense (written and audiovisual press) and more generally freedom of communication, was a consequence of freedom of expression.
In that regard, the ZNBC Board ought to be occupied by persons who were qualified, of high professionalism and integrity.

The Democratic Governance Lead submitted that in line with its standard procedure, TIZ conducted the assessments of the nominees, using the methodology set out below.

Legal Requirement 1.

The Ministerial appointment of the ZNBC Board was established under the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation Act.
It was in line with that piece of legislation that TIZ undertook an analysis of the constitutional provisions concerning the nominee's academic and professional experience.

Security Vetting 2.

TIZ was not a security wing with access to intelligence information.

TIZ’s vetting was based on what was publicly available on a nominee's position on various issues that bordered on national security.
In that regard, TIZ’s security vetting focused on any public attitude that the nominee could have adopted on matters of public security.

Independence/Objectivity Test 3.

The above methodology was, in most cases, in-house analysis of data obtained and the focus was to establish how independent or objective the nominees would be, if ratified.

Further, the work history and performance of the nominees were also considered.

9 Public Integrity and Standing Test 4.


Using public and private records, TIZ assessed whether the nominees were people of high integrity and good standing in society.

Only persons with integrity could qualify for the position of ZNBC Board member due to the sensitivity of the institution.

Skills Matching 5.
Skills Matching 5.

TIZ carefully scrutinised the curricula vitae of the nominees to assess whether the nominees would perform their duties in line with the ZNBC Act and the general principles of good corporate governance.
Further, a brief background of the nominees and their qualifications was submitted to ascertain whether they qualified for appointment as follows: (i) Mr Mato Shimabale The nominee was a highly qualified individual with vast experience of over fifteen (15) years in marketing and business administration.

Further, he served as board member with different institutions, which accorded him experience in executing board responsibilities and duties.
In addition, based on his qualifications and leadership experience, the nominee would effectively discharge the functions of a board member of ZNBC.

TIZ, therefore, supported his appointment.

(ii) Mrs Bernadette Chilufya Mwaba Phiri The nominee had over twenty (20) years’ experience in health (HIV/AIDS) related fields and marketing private consultancy with different institutions.

She had held various portfolios, including being a board chairperson for three organisations and a board member respectively.
However, it was in the public domain that the nominee had contested for adoption as the Kafue Parliamentary Constituency seat candidate on the United Party National Development (UPND) ticket.

Based on that, TIZ was of the view that the integrity of the nominee could be comprised towards decision making owing to her association with political elites as she was still involved in active politics.
Therefore, the nominee was not suitably qualified to serve on the ZNBC Board and TIZ did not support her nomination.

(iii) Bishop Joseph Shapela Kazhila The nominee had over twenty (20) years of experience in theology and stock management.

However, he had no experience had no relevant connection or correlation with anything to do with media or broadcasting.
In that regard, his curriculum vitae had not demonstrated any management and leadership experience required for the nominee to serve on the ZNBC Board.

It was further submitted that although the nominee had been a peacemaker during the run up to the general elections in 2021, it was in the public domain that he was allegedly a UPND sympathiser.

Therefore, the nominee's decisions could be politically influenced and hence affect the operations ofZNBC.
10 In addition, the nominee had inadequate academic qualifications to serve on the ZNBC Board and, therefore, TIZ did not support his appointment.

(iv) Ms Ophelia Nyambe The nominee possessed the requisite academic and professional qualifications to serve on the ZNBC Board.

She was a highly qualified financial analyst with vast experience in internal and external stakeholder management skills.
Further, she had fifteen (15) years of experience serving as a member on various boards such as EFT Corporation Zambia Limited, a former trustee of Sartunia Regna Pension Fund and chaired the fund's investment committee.

Therefore, it was believed that the nominee was objective and independent in making decisions based on the number of portfolios she previously held.

In that regard, TIZ supported her appointment.


(v) Mr Nchimunya Hachandi The nominee was highly qualified with over fifteen (15) years of experience in financial management having worked for various telecommunication companies in different portfolios.

Further, he served as a board member with different institutions.

In that regard, the nominee had attained experience in executing board responsibilities and duties, which could be beneficial to ZNBC.
Therefore, based on the nominee’s curriculum vitae, he possessed adequate experience and academic qualifications to serve on the ZNBC Board and, thus, TIZ supported his appointment.

(vi) Mr Dante Charles Saunders The nominee had experience in motor and electrical mechanics, construction, and the aviation industry.

In that regard, based on the nominee’s curriculum vitae, he did not possess the requisite competence or skills required to serve on the ZNBC Board.
Further, the nominee was seemingly involved in partisan politics by supporting the current ruling UPND Government.

In that regard, the nominee could be conflicted during deliberations of the board and that had the tendency of violating the principles of good corporate governance.

In that vein, TIZ did not support the appointment of the nominee.

MEDIA INSTITUTE OF SOUTHERN AFRICA ZAMBIA (MISA) 13.
The Chairperson submitted on the personal, educational and professional background of the nominees as stated in their curricula vitae.

He submitted on each of the nominees as set out below.

(i) Mr Mato Shimabale The nominee was a marketing and business administration graduate who would provide value to the Corporation through his business and customer relations.
11 (ii) Mrs Bernadette Chilufya Mwaba Phiri The nominee had a strong resume, and her experience demonstrated that she had the requisite knowledge of effective governance.

Her marketing and commercial background would also benefit the Corporation's image.

(iii) Bishop Joseph ShapelaKazhila The nominee lacked media experience as well as experience in corporate governance.

In that regard, MISA did not support his appointment (iv) Ms Ophelia Nyambe The nominee had had experience in media and accountancy.
Her experience working for organisations such as the Zambia Institute of Policy Analysis and Research (ZIPAR) could aid the Corporation in making significant improvement in terms of performance.

(v) MrNchimunya Hachandi The nominee possessed the essential media exposure and corporate governance experience, which would be helpful to the Corporation.

His legal expertise also provided him with a thorough awareness of the Corporation's parameters.
(vi) Ms Jaqueline Chishimba The nominee had a track record of being well-versed in the media.

Her background was impressive, and she would offer valuable media experience to the Board.

SOUTHERN AFRICAN CENTRE FOR THE CONSTRUCTIVE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES (SACCORD) 14.

The Executive-Director submitted on the personal, educational and professional background of the nominees as stated in their curricula vitae.

He noted the gender balance that the nominees were ineligible to be appointed to the ZNBC Board.
He further submitted on each of the nominees as set out below.

(i) Mr Mato Shimabale The nominee was a Zambian citizen and was, therefore, eligible to serve on the Board.

A background search revealed no adverse report and confirmed that the nominee was a person of integrity.

In addition, the nominee possessed the necessary media and academic qualifications and, therefore, SACCORD had no objection to his appointment to serve on the ZNBC Board.
(ii) Mrs Bernadette Chilufya Mwaba Phiri The nominee possessed the requisite academic qualifications and was a family oriented person.

Therefore, her appointment would advance the values and ideals of gender balance and equality.

Additionally, the nominee had the necessary media and academic qualifications and therefore, SACCORD had no objection to the nominee’s appointment to serve on the ZNBC Board.
12 (iii) Bishop Joseph ShapelaKazhila The nominee was a Zambian citizen and, therefore, eligible to serve on the Board.

Further, a background search revealed that the nominee was a person of integrity.

In that regard, the nominee possessed the necessary media and academic qualifications and, as such, SACCORD had no objections to his appointment to serve on the ZNBC Board.

(iv) Ms Ophelia Nyambe The nominee was a Zambian citizen and, therefore, eligible to serve on the ZNBC Board.
Further, the nominee was a family oriented person and being a woman, her appointment would advance values and ideals of gender balance and equality.

In that regard, she possessed the necessary media and academic qualifications and SACCORD had no objection to her appointment to serve on the ZNBC Board.

(v) MrNchimunyaHachandi The nominee was a Zambian citizen and, therefore, eligible to serve on the ZNBC Board.
A background search on him did not yield any adverse report and, as such, SACCORD had no objection to his appointment.

(vi) Ms Jacqueline Chishimba The nominee possessed the requisite academic qualifications and her appointment would advance the values and ideals of gender balance and equality.

In that regard, SACCORD supported the nominee’s appointment to serve on the ZNBC Board.

(vii) Mr Dante Charles Saunders The nominee was a Zambian citizen and, therefore, eligible to serve on the ZNBC Board.
A background check revealed that the nominee possessed the necessary media and academic qualifications.

On that basis, SACCORD supported the nominee’s appointment to serve on the ZNBC Board.

(viii) Mrs Jacqueline Milambo Kabeta The nominee possessed the requisite academic qualifications and had a clear work track record especially in the media fraternity.

Further, her appointment would advance values and ideals of gender equality.
The nominee was a person of integrity and as such, had no objection to her appointment to serve on the ZNBC Board.

SACCORD, therefore, supported her appointment.

(ix) Mr Jack Kalala The nominee possessed the necessary academic qualifications and had a clear work track record.

He had served as a Special Assistant to the late former President, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa and was also a man of integrity.

In that regard, SACCORD had no objection to the nominee’s appointment to serve on the ZNBC Board.
In conclusion, SACCORD recommended the ratification of all the nominees to serve on the ZNBC Board.

13 FOUNDATION FOR DEMOCRATIC PROCESS (FODEP) 15.

The Executive Director submitted on the personal, educational and professional background of the nominees as stated in their curricula vitae.

He submitted that the diversity of personalities nominated for appointment to the ZNBC Board was pertinent because the Board members could draw on each other’s experience.
However, he observed that the youth had not been included in the appointments.

He explained that in order to have inclusive participation in governance of the country, it was important for the youth to be included in appointments to such bodies.

He then submitted on each nominee as set out below.

(i) Mr Mato Shimabale The nominee was a marketing and customer service professional and a fellow of the Zambia Institute of Marketing.
He possessed the requisite academic qualifications and had a proven track record of hard work, with extensive experience in the banking and financial sectors.

FODEP did not have any reservations on the appointment of the nominee to serve on the ZNBC Board.

(ii) Mrs Bernadette Chilufya Mwaba Phiri The nominee possessed the requisite academic qualifications and was a well-known Public Health Communications Specialist and founder of Zambia Health Education Communications Trust (ZHECT).
While her qualifications may not be fully attuned to the media profession, the nominee’s wealth of experience in the public health sector, civil society and the corporate world, would greatly add to the blend that the Corporation would benefit from.

In that vein, FODEP had no objection to the nominee’s appointment.
(iii) Bishop Joseph Shapela Kazhila Although the nominee’s educational background was not directly aligned to media and broadcasting, ZNBC could benefit from his wealth of experience and exposure as a clergyman.

FODEP had no objections to the nominee’s appointment, as he was suitably qualified for appointment.

In this regard, the Committee commends the Appointing Authority for taking gender balance into consideration when making appointments.

In that regard, the Committee recommends that the Act be amended so that it provides for minimum academic qualifications for persons to be appointed as members of the Board.

It was challenging appointing.

At the time of appointment there were many problems between the two countries.

The relations were not so good because of the cross banditry and smuggling of essential commodities.
To address the challenges and improve relations, I encouraged 69 regular meetings of the Regional Joint Permanent Commission.

At my recommendation, trade restrictions were removed and Zaireans were encouraged to obtain visas when travelling to Zambia.

Criminals from both sides were identified and neutralised.

There was increased cooperation between the security wings of both countries.

At the time I left the relations between the two countries were at their best.
They were not even affected by the change of government there.

Subsequent to our advice, President Chiluba and President Kabila became very good friends.
