GIBA calls for constitutional protection of media freedom in ongoing review

The stakeholders are calling for the constitutional review to preserve and strengthen safeguards for media freedom and independence while adapting Ghana’s media regulatory framework to the changing digital environment.

The Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA) is calling for key protections for media freedom to remain entrenched in Ghana’s Constitution as part of the ongoing constitutional review.

Speaking at a stakeholder engagement on the constitutional review, GIBA member Samson Lardi Anyenini said the association was concerned that several of its recommendations submitted to the Constitutional Review Committee were not reflected in the committee’s final report.
