Minority Leader Haruna Addrisu
Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu has said the closedown of some opposition radio stations under President Akufo-Addo’s watch makes nonsense of his so-called contribution to the repeal of the Criminal Libel Law.
“…As he himself said, he contributed to enhancing Media Freedom with the repeal of the Criminal libel Law. But under his watch, freedom of expression has been fractured and hampered with the closure of FM Stations that are pro-NDC,” the minority leader said while he moved a motion to second adjournment of sittings after President Akufo-Addo’s State of the Nation Address Tuesday.
President Akufo-Addo has stated that his government is not averse to public scrutiny, adding that, that is not the way of the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP).
