In a statement, Chief Secretary Lloyd Muhara said the appointments are with effect from 1st January, 2017.

The appointments follow the controversial fees saga at UNIMA as Polytechnic remains closed after students vowed not to pay the hiked fees.

The new board members at Admarc are to deal with maize saga that has since attracted public attention as people want to know how the transactions were made by Admarc when it bought maize from Zambia in a move to stock reserves.
