The Minister for Communication Madam Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has rubbished the stance of the minority with regards to the sanctions meted out to 137 radio station across the country for breaching various aspects of the Communications Act.
The Minority in a statement indicated that the National Communication Authority is targeting Pro NDC media houses.
Majority of the affected stations were sanctioned for failing to renew their frequency license upon expiring.
This has angered many media groups including the Ghana Journalist Association and the Independent Broadcasters Association who described the sanctions as hash.
But speaking to the media in reaction to the minorities entrenched position Hon. Ursula Owusu stated that the claims were unfortunate and ought to be withdrawn.
“We all have to be able to respect the laws and its applications dispassionately without fear or favour to all sections of society and I say let the chips fall where they may and there are no sacred cows when it comes to the agencies under the Ministry of Communication,” she stated.
