Applications for NBTC board to start this monthThe application period for new board members of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is expected to begin this month. Six NBTC board members who are working under a special extension of their term granted by the previous government are to be replaced. In June, the cabinet gave the green light for the recruitment of new NBTC board members to address the decision-making vacuum for critical issues. But the previous government overrode that requirement via Section 44 powers, and the members can work until new board members have been appointed. No obligation is required for the seven board members to represent seven fields as stipulated in the existing act.
