    Question

    Boba TV is a private television station that has its registered office in Ndola. Last week, the leading

    political party in the country paid for air time for a recorded program that outlines its manifesto to

    be aired on Boba TV. The editor of the station, Malita Nguzu, reviewed the content of the program

    before it was aired, and she was satisfied that the content adhered to the programing regulations

    that are prescribed by the Independent Broadcasting Authority. The program was aired at 19 30

    hours on Friday last week. However, while the program was being televised, the District

    Commissioner stormed the offices of Boba TV and ordered that the program should be

    discontinued. He warned that stern action would be taken against Boba TV if the program was not

    discontinued. Malita Nguzu refused to discontinue the program, as it was paid for and it did not

    represent the views of Boba TV. The following day, the Independent Broadcasting Authority

    announced that it had immediately suspended the broadcasting licence for Boba on the ground that

    it sympathized with the opposition.

    Advise Malita Nguzu on the legality of the decision that was made against Boba TV by the

    Independent Broadcasting Authority.
