The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced its decision to boycott all political programmes on Nhyira FM, a Kumasi-based radio station operating on the licence of the Multimedia Group.
The party has also called on the company to suspend its morning show host pending investigations into bribery allegations leveled against him.
The journalist, Kwadwo Jantuah is said to have allegedly received a cash amount of US$2,000 and GHC2000 from the office of former President John Mahama to do the bidding of the opposition NDC, an allegation the media house has vehemently denied.
In a statement signed by the General manager, Kumasi Business, Jimmy Aglah, he said that the bribery allegations are “unsubstantiated.”
“Preliminary investigation reveal that the allegations are unsubstantiated. The Station engaged all persons mentioned in the allegation and they have all retracted the allegation. The person who made that particular allegation has accordingly apologized,” portions of the statement said.
The Ashanti regional communications director of the NPP, Dennis Kwakwa, who described the conduct of the journalist as shameful urged stakeholders to take keen interest, as he takes steps to petition the Special Prosecutor on the matter.
