The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation will allocate equal free airtime to all registered political parties and independent candidates contesting in the upcoming Regional Council bi-election for the Moses Garoeb Constituency. 

NBC management revealed this during a meeting with participants.

The bi-election slated for the 6th of January 2023 comes after the death of the constituency councillor, Aili Venonya, who died in October.

The equal free airtime allocation content will be broadcast on TV on NBC 1 at 18H50 from 26 December to 4 January 2023.

The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation has appealed a ruling by the Media Complaints Committee, which found that the broadcaster failed to represent opposing views on its current affairs program, Talk of the Nation, in an episode featuring the activities of Canadian oil and gas company, Recon-Africa, in the Kavango basin.

A ruling in an appeal case by the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation over the non-referring of Aletha Nguvauva as Ombara Otjitambi has been suspended to allow the appointment of an impartial media appeals committee panel.

The suspension follows after the nbc raised concerns of bias when it was pointed out that the committee's chairperson is part of the Media Ombudsman structure.
