ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation Amendment Bill 2024 was passed during the National Assembly (NA) session on Monday, marking a significant step towards fulfilling the International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditions.
The bill revises the composition of the Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) Board to include representation from all four provinces, as well as Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir.
A major change introduced by the bill is the new process for appointing the Director General of PBC. The inclusive board will recommend a candidate for the position, and the federal government will make the appointment based on the board’s recommendation.
