Search starts for new chair, four directors for MDDA board

Advertisements calling for nominations will appear in the Sunday press this weekend. The incumbent chair and four directors, who were all appointed when the MDDA was launched in 2003, are obliged by the MDDA Act to resign after five years service.

As a statutory body, MDDA directors are elected by a process of public nomination, short listing through interviews by the Portfolio Committee of Communication and the approval by the House of Assembly. The final stage of the procedure is ratification by the State President.

Interviews by the portfolio committee will commence in mid-October 2007.
