The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has praised President John Dramani Mahama for stepping in to halt the revocation of frequency authorisations for 64 radio stations, an action initially taken by the National Communications Authority (NCA) for various regulatory breaches.
According to the NCA, the affected stations were cited for failing to renew their licences, operating without valid authorisation, exceeding permitted transmission limits, or neglecting to pay required authorisation fees.
The regulator's move, announced on Thursday, June 12, sparked widespread concern across the media landscape.
But in a swift response, President Mahama intervened and reversed the NCA's decision, granting clemency to the affected stations-a move the GJA says has spared the country serious consequences.
