Information available to Joy News indicate the National Media Commission is calling an emergency meeting to discuss the position of the Information Ministry on the inability of GBC to telecast President Mills’ address to the UN General Assembly. Sources say the meeting will determine whether the summoning of the management of the state broadcaster to explain the circumstances accounting for the situation constituted an undue political interference. The GBC management at a meeting with officials of the Ministry of Information accepted full responsibility for the failure to telecast the president’s address live and consequently apologized. The NMC at its emergency meeting scheduled for Thursday this week will also examine the Information Ministry’s concerns about the operations of the state broadcaster. Officials of the Ministry of Information Friday called a meeting with the management of the GBC to discuss what they called persistent blunders on the part of GBC since the NDC came into office. The officials described the failure of GBC to telecast the president’s address live as “scandalous.” But the conduct of the Information Ministry itself will come under scrutiny. A former Director-General of the GBC, Prof Kwame Karikari told Joy News the role of the GBC as a public broadcaster must be redefined if the situation is to see any improvement. He said the station must be restructured and given a new vision. Story by Malik Abass Daabu/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
