Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to enforcing broadcasting regulations without fear or favour.
This follows President John Dramani Mahama’s clemency directive, which called for the restoration of licenses to 64 radio stations suspended by the National Communications Authority (NCA) over regulatory breaches.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Thursday June 12, the Minister stated clearly that no radio station—regardless of its social standing, political leanings, or ownership—will be exempt from compliance with Ghana’s broadcasting laws.
“Let me reassure this House and the people of Ghana: this Government is committed to the firm, fair, and impartial enforcement of the laws governing FM broadcasting,” he said. “No entity, regardless of status or political affiliation, is above the law. Our goal is not punishment but accountability, order, and the responsible stewardship of a critical public resource.”
