Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has sharply criticised the government following President John Dramani Mahama's decision to grant clemency to 64 radio stations suspended over regulatory breaches.
The President had directed the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation to collaborate with the National Communications Authority (NCA) to immediately restore the broadcast licenses of the affected stations, which included prominent outlets such as Asaase Radio and Wontumi FM.
The NCA had previously suspended the operations of the stations due to multiple infractions, citing non-compliance with broadcasting regulations.
The move raised widespread concerns about media freedom and potential political overreach.
