A political science lecturer has criticized the timing of the National Communication Authority’s decision to close down Radio Gold and Radio XYZ.

According to Professor Yaw Gyampo “whoever ordered the shutdown of the radio stations at this crucial time, when our international rating on press freedom has reportedly gone down; and more importantly, when the political temperature of the country seems to be rising, has no good judgment and proper sense of timing.”

Officials of the NCA, accompanied by armed policemen, stormed the premises of Radio Gold and another pro-National Democratic Congress (NDC) station, Radio XYZ and ordered their immediate closure on Thursday.

  1. Well this might not be a good timing to shutdown these voices of the people-Radio Gold and Radio XYZ. But the National Communications Authorities said in a news briefing ,that these two radio stations have failed to renew their operating license. It is time we stop viewing the operations of the NCA as political and enforce that everyone adheres to the laws of this country.
