The decision of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) on Thursday to reject the final list of 14 proposed candidates put forward as prospective National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) board members has raised several questions.
This is not the first time the NLA, as an ad hoc lawmaker in parliament, has voted against lists of candidates proposed for independent organisations.
On the same day it rejected the NBTC candidates, the NLA also turned down a list containing one candidate proposed for the role of national Ombudsman.
