*The NCA must take proactive measures because some media outlets continue to air unethical and unlawful programs on their shows. - S.K OFORI; EAI Political Analyst*


The eleven-year-old boy's death in Kasoa, where his pals planned to sacrifice him for money rituals, was the catalyst for the national media commission's and national communication authority decision to sanitize the media community, which took place just one and a half years earlier. The NCA's decision to revoke the licenses of media outlets transmitting unethical programs was praised by many. It seems, however, that the NCA took such steps in response to the death of the eleven-year-old child who was murdered by his peers under the influence of a mallam.


The media outlets whose licenses were eventually restored after negotiations with the national communications authority. After the NCA restoring the license of the affected media outlets, some continuously airing those unlawful and unethical programs, including playing gramophone films and enabling bogus juju men to deceive the public.


Our research reveals that several owners of those media stations whose licenses were suspended by the NCA have opened additional media outlets and are functioning illegally. Some of them have also changed the station's branding, giving it a new name and logo. 


We urge the NCA to take more preventative measures since, as the phrase goes, "prevention is better than cure."  The NCA should stop these media outlets' immoral and criminal behavior before it leads to unpleasant circumstances.


The NCA needs to take swift action to clean up the media community and ensure that any media outlet who engage in unethical behavior and offensive programming face consequences. The NCA should also establish regulations to ensure that media station activities are carried out appropriately and strictly adhered to.


Finally, given that the NCA has paid less attention to those local media outlets, our findings also indicated that the NCA ought to keep a close check on how those outlets function, those local media outlets have complete control over community opinion.


We believe that, the media is the most potent force on earth. They have the ability to falsely accuse the innocent and exonerate the guilty. And whoever controls the media also controls people's minds, particularly young people. We are in grave danger if the media continues to display or broadcast information that will severely corrode the public's mentality.


Let's band together to create a powerful and moral media fraternity to aid in the development of our country.

JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA HAD RETORTED

   President John Dramani Mahama had made a proclamation on his intention to be a party agent at his polling station in the forthcoming 2024 general elections, which comes after his recent pronouncement. He made this profound statement to buttress his stance on his recent pronouncement that, the 2024 general elections are going to be ‘Do or die'. He had declared his stance that this does not translate into ‘All die be die', as the incumbent president, President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo,  made us believe in the run-up to the 2016 general elections. The rank and file of his party and scores of Ghanaians had commended him for affirming his stance and taking steps to prevent possible rig of the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.  He had condemned what he for seen as bias on the part of the Supreme Court in manipulating the ruling of the 2020 petition he filed against the Electoral Commission. He had assured that he would not resort to the court for redr...

I Foresee Brighter Prospects in Asumadu & Ndukwe led Administration

The prospects of Asumadu and Wisdom Ndukwe led administration has been the one that many students anticipate. However long it takes, the mandate has been been given to them.  Upon resumption to office, we have seen their Swift intervention in organising a meeting with the sellers at the Lecturers and staff markets ( Night Market) discussing the recent hikes in commodity prices. The recent increase in consumables and foodstuff is alarming, unwarranted and worrying. We cannot fathom why every blessed day's provisions prices are inflating. Extorsions at diaspora halls are uncalled for and not guaranteed. We are keenly aware of their intervention, and hoping that the Asumadu- Ndukwe led governance would expedite the unfailing effort to deal with such menace confronting us. Indeed, governance is continuous we have seen that the duo has taken the trend of mobilising students for a seminar. This has been a programme that virtually every administration embarks on to sensitize students on m...
