TREASURY has promised to release $4 million for outstanding equipment to ensure that completed digital transmitter base stations are switched on.

Speaking during a tour of Manjolo Base Station, which has been completed about 40km outside Binga on Saturday, Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Chris Mushohwe said about $16 million is required to clear a debt owed to Zim-Digital contractors from China.

The Minister said Treasury has promised to disburse $4 million any time from now which will be enough to effect release of outstanding equipment needed to switch on those stations that have been completed.
