Assin Central lawmaker, Kennedy Agyapong has called out his colleague MP, Muntaka Mubarak to apologise to his radio station after the latter claimed that Oman FM was spared when radio stations were closed down by the National Communication Authority.
Hon Muntaka during the vetting of the minister averred that closure of the radio stations was targeted and politically motivated for which reason pro-government stations such as Oman FM which had also defaulted its payment was not closed down.
Reacting to the allegation, Mr Agyapong insisted his station has never defaulted in any payment and therefore Muntaka ought to apologise for peddling falsehood.
“I pleaded on their behalf for all the radio stations to be opened so they could make the payments in installments but the NCA probably did not agree. So Muntaka has to come back and apologise to Oman FM,” he was quoted by ghanaweb.
“Just this morning I was saying we need to go and pay for our TV license renewal, I could say we won’t pay because NPP is in power. But no, because it will catch up with me. NPP is not going to be there forever and all these things are going to come up and that is what Radio Gold, Montie and all the other stations that were closed down faced to understand that,” the MP said.
