The National Censorship Board is now financial independent

recognizing the office as financial autonomous by the National Executive
Council in the second quarter of this year. The first cheque was printed by the
Minister for Community Development, Religion & Youth to formally officiate
the financial independence of this important office.
Ms Gore reiterated that this is one of the many developments
the government is focused to strengthen the public sector and for better
service delivery.
Mr Mala said the approved budget was more than K22 million
over four years, with an annual budget of K3.7 million for goods and services
and personal emoluments.

“This budget will focus on the operation of the office after
the Government realized the effects of modern technology, especially in the
area of social media, said Mr Mala.
A financial training and the use of integrated financial
management system rolled out by Finance Department last year was strongly put
emphasis on by the Finance Secretary Mr Ken Ngangan to have the accounts
section within the Censorship Board to take on such training to properly use
and acquit public funds.
