The opposition NDC has accused the ruling NPP government of trying to silence their party by deliberately buying all the airtime on the major media outlets.

According to the NDC’s General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the Akufo-Addo government of flooding the media space with their campaign in order to cover their tracks of corruption.

“NPP government went and bought all the airtime on all the major television and radio outlets so that we cannot have a voice to speak,” Mr. Nketia said at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday as quoted by pulsegh.

“Meanwhile, three years ago, he [Akufo-Addo] had the presence of mind to close down all radio stations that will not tow his line.

“So now he comes round to buy airtime. And they have resources to buy the airtime because of the stealing. So they’ll steal your money and prevent you from speaking and make sure that they use your money to cover their tracks.”

The NDC Scribe also accused the NPP government of sabotaging their press conferences with frequent power outages as well as bad radio and TV signals.

He alleged that Tuesday’s press conference was supposed to begin at 10:00 am but started late due to a deliberate power cut in the area.

“When you want to speak, they either turn off the lights or use National Security to disrupt the radio and television signals, so that the good people of Ghana cannot hear you,” Mr. Nketia added.
