Chief Censor, Steven Mala, says the Office of Censorship will be increasing manpower capacity in 2017.
This follows the approved revised restructure which Mala said will enable the Office to work more effectively and efficiently.
“As the Chief Censor of this growing organisation, I am adamant that the Office is capable of delivering respective outcomes despite setbacks such as funding, which all of us are currently experiencing.”
He said the three main objectives of the Office for 2016 are slowly but surely being carried out.
They are; 1) Decentralisation of Chief Censor’s powers 2) Concept Paper on Internet Filtering and 3) Development of Awareness Strategy.
“While the first main task is ongoing and will be carried forward to 2017, the second task is completed and awaiting approval by the National Executive Council.
“The third task is completed and awaiting approval within the managerial level before they can be used as active documents for program planning and policy implementation,” said Mala.
He added that the Office is faced with many new challenges and every year they work towards implementing these challenges while working towards new goals.
“Teamwork, partnership and respect are all vital elements in any growing organisation,” said Mala.
