The complaints framework should be amended to eliminate concurrent jurisdiction and provide a more simplified and coherent process, further broaden stakeholders’ rights to lodge complaints, and revoke the automatic rejection of complaints on technical grounds. If complaints are filed to the wrong institution, that institution should be obliged to forward them to the correct institution. An option to lodge complaints electronically could be introduced, and a standardized complaint form developed. The legal requirement to redact names from court judgements should be revoked.

Local courts could take measures to improve consistency and effectiveness in the adjudication of electoral offences.

The legal framework on campaign finance should be further strengthened to ensure that third-party financing and in-kind contributions do not circumvent regulations and reporting requirements. Dissuasive and proportionate sanctions should be established. The NAPC should be designated as the sole independent oversight body to monitor and investigate compliance with campaign-finance regulations and should be sufficiently mandated, empowered, and resourced.

Parliament should safeguard the public broadcaster’s editorial independence by providing it with sufficient funding and granting it full financial autonomy. Sufficient and sustainable funding would allow UA:PBC to fulfil its objectives as a public service broadcaster and serve as an alternative to the highly politicized and controlled private media sector.
