The members of the Independent Radio and Television Commission were appointed by Government in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 of the Schedule to the Radio and Television Act, 1988. In accordance with paragraph 1(5) of the Schedule persons appointed to the commission should have had experience of, or shown capacity in, media or commercial affairs, radio communications engineering, trade union affairs, administration or social, cultural, educational or community activities. I am satisfied that the members who were recently appointed fulfil this requirement.
