The Minister is lying. MBC has now become very dull under DPP govt. The Good Morning TV programme is full of people advertising their goods and religious services. When you see someone appearing on MBC TV you know he is going to utter something in support of DPP govt. Ngati ndikumana allow me to be featured criticising some of the DPP govt policies.

This is not true. Where in Africa is a public broadcaster free from govt. interferance? Are we about to make history? The minister is just saying what his predecessors said before. Did we see any change. The minister should just listen to Mr Benson Tembo’s plea for govt. assistance. We don’t care about MBC’s political leanings. We have enough media alternatives. Big up Mr Nankhumwa for lip service.

Same old story, why not put it in writing or in policy form that we can always refer to it. Verbal assurances are just rhetoric , the former Ministers said almost very same words, but what has been happening? So stop fooling us, we know your tricks you politicians.

MBC was only free when JB allowed it to do so. Now it has become a family broadcaster which i rarely watch once quartely. U switch to it u just see Peter, Getrude, minister, regional governor etc. No time for that. Open MBC to level of BBC then we can enjoy watching & listening MBC

What has changed? MBC has NEVER been professional. Look @ programming and news content. Are they not pro-govt?
Tembo is just toeing govt line to keep his job. Why did DPP appoint Aubrey Sumbuleta and Brian Mungomo when they very under qualified. Both of them don’t have even a diploma in communication or journalism. Tembo is just a figurehead. He fears these DPP spies! Have u heard MBC covering people calling for federal state? Yet this is international news.

WE are not kids, the minister is fooling himself. There is no way he can talk of independence when he has already planted his party sympathisers at the station including and through the deputy director general. The station was free during Joyce Banda administration but DPP discriminated all neutral people and promote their party dogs. We are not worried because we stopped listening news to MBC some three months ago.
