The Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) Board has announced the resumption of operations at the Authority.

And Mr. Chuula said the IBA continues to grieve with Mr. Muleya’s family and wishes them God’s comfort.
He expressed gratitude to all stakeholders for their messages of sympathy and understanding when the operations at the IBA were temporarily halted to facilitate investigations by relevant authorities.
The Chairperson acknowledged the staff’s cooperation with various investigative bodies and urged them to carry on cooperating as investigations continue.
