BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The country’s Times Media Group has defiantly rejecting calls to recall its popular television presenter Brian Banda who resigned following accusations of professional misconduct.
In brief statement released on January 2, available to The Maravi Post, Times Group management says it is aware that there are some listeners and viewers of both Times radio and television who miss services of Brian Banda as host on both media platforms.
“Management assures the listeners and viewers that arrangements are underway to identify and replace Brian Banda with new talent in keeping with the ethical behavior and operating standards at Times Group as the leading media house in the country,” says the statement.
Banda was fired before at the company but was recalled after public demand before he resigned last month following the recent incident.
The former TV presenter is reportedly to have requested UNDP Malawi office to square his personal Capital Hotel’s bills amounting to MK40,000.00.
This was despite both Times Media Group and UNDP financed him fully for the program hosted UNDP Resident Coordinator.
