National Broadcasting Authority members named

GOVERNMENT has approved the appointment of a governing board for the newly created Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA), in keeping with the Broadcasting Act of 2011.
Comprising seven members, it will be chaired by former Human Services Minister, attorney-at-law Ms. Bibi Shadick.
The others are Presidential nominees Margo Boyce, Gerry Gouveia, Norman Mc Lean, Charles Ramson (Jr) and Dindyal Permaul and Opposition nominee Sherwood Lowe.
The appointments were announced yesterday by Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon at his usual post-Cabinet media briefing.
The Broadcasting Act, which was passed in July last year, provides for the licensing of agencies and the encouragement of production and broadcast of television and radio programmes having relevance, generally, to life and culture of the Guyanese people.
Luncheon said the Board, for the time being will be accommodated at the current office of the National Frequency Management Unit (NFMU), on Hadfield Street, D’Urban Park, Georgetown.
But there are plans for building new accommodation from which the staff is expected to provide expanded services, the HPS said.
