The Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association, GIBA is accusing the Communications Ministry of giving it a raw deal in the roll-out of the digital terrestrial television programme. Ghana is required to switch from analogue to digital television by 2015 in compliance with a directive from the International Telecommunications Union. GIBA however says the ministry is side stepping an earlier agreement for a single signal distributor for all television stations. Executive Director Gerald Ankrah says this will throw several stations out of business because of the cost involved. GIBA is also questioning the award of a Hundred and eighteen million dollar contract to a Chinese company, Star Times to help roll out the system. Mr. Ankrah says the terms of the contract are not in the country’s interest.
