GIBA Denies Meeting Gbevlo

Executive Secretary of Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA), Gerald Ankrah,  has denied media reports that the National Security has met GIBA members to deliberate on how they will operate on the day of the Supreme Court verdict.

According to him, the group together with the National Media Commission (NMC) and National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) are on regional tour organising workshops for their members on how they can help maintain peace before and after the Supreme Court verdict.
Mr. Ankrah, who sounded surprised, said none of the members of GIBA had informed the association of any meeting with the national security. “We haven’t received any invitation from the national security for any meeting” he added.
He denied the reports on Ark FM in Sunyani and said it was unconstitutional for the national security to tell radio stations not to pick phone calls or have panel discussions after the Supreme Court verdict.
Mr. Ankrah said the Association had already organised workshops in the Eastern, Ashanti, Greater Accra, and the Northern regions.
He noted that the next stop would be in the Central and Western regions. He also promised that the association would train all its members in the country before the Supreme Court verdict.
