The ECZ must become an independent, autonomous body in terms of the appointment of its members, its funding and performance. Instead of the President proposing members for their ratification by Parliament, at least two-thirds of the National Assembly could put forward candidates for confirmation by the President. The ECZ’s funding should be guaranteed by the Ministry of Finance as per budget allocations.
