The Government of Ghana has officially announced its decision to boycott all programs run by media houses operating on the license of the Multimedia Company Limited.
A Deputy Information Minister, James Agyenim Boateng, said among other considerations, the media group has not been fair to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking in an interview with CitiNews, Hon. Boateng said: “In the light of the large development on Asempa FM which led to a mob of NPP people led by Anthony Karbo storming the station, that incident for example did not find any space in the news bulletin of Joy FM and so by their conduct they have shown that they cannot be a fair party and neutral.”
“We consider that not in our interest... more importantly, we cannot guarantee the safety of our people when they appear on their stations,” he added.
Hon. Boateng stated: “We are not asking radio presenters and producers to be on our side. But they should show fairness and be accurate. We can’t cooperate with stations which pretend to be neutral, but in fact do more damage to us.”
The group includes Joy FM, Asempa FM, Adom FM, Nhyra FM and Multi TV among other affiliates.
The following is the link to the story about the invasion of the Asempa studious by NPP supporters as reported by Myjoyonline.com on the day of the invasion.
