The Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) has criticized the National Communications Authority (NCA) for shutting down unauthorized broadcasting stations without adequate engagement.
In a press statement dated February 19, 2025, LPG acknowledged the importance of regulatory compliance but argued that a more consultative approach could have been taken to prevent job losses. "The abrupt shutdown of these stations without thorough engagement and alternative solutions has put hardworking journalists and media workers at risk of unemployment," the party stated.
LPG urged the Ministry of Communications and the NCA to adopt a more flexible approach, stating that "instead of immediate shutdowns, the government should engage media houses, provide clear guidelines, and offer reasonable timelines to ensure sustainable broadcasting operations." The party expressed solidarity with affected media workers and their families, calling for measures to reduce economic hardships.
