Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong has
disclosed that how he pleaded with the Ministry of Communications and the
National Communications Authority to give owners of Radio Gold and other
pro-NDC radio stations a fair hearing.
According to him, during the
period in which the Radio stations were closed down, he was the Chairman of the
Communications Committee in Parliament.
He said during the era of the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) his Kencity Media business was cut of by
some elements in the governing NDC such that they could not even get adverts to
thrive as a media house.
However, having suffered for
that Kennedy Agyapong noted that it was imperative for him to fight for Radio
Gold and others in order for the victimization to stop whenever power changes
hands in the country because it hinders progress.
“I met Ato Ahwoi at a restaurant
and he was grateful to me for fighting to ensure that we bring back Radio Gold.
I told him I suffered from victimization and will not wish that on anybody. I
know the NPP won’t be in power forever and I will not want the same thing to
happen to me again,” he said in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com.
Kennedy Agyapong indicated that
currently he has been changed from the Communications Committee and therefore
cannot give a vivid update of what has gone on but he is sure that owners of
Radio Gold have put in their application and need to be given the clearance.
