President John Dramani Mahama has called for the immediate restoration of broadcast services to 64 radio stations shut down by the National Communications Authority (NCA) for regulatory breaches.
In a directive to the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, President Mahama requested a collaboration between the ministry and the NCA to ensure the affected stations resume broadcasting without delay.
This was contained in a release by the Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, today, a few hours after the NCA shut down the stations.
The statement explained that President Mahama believes in the importance of balancing regulatory compliance with media freedom.
