The Central Regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Bernard Allotey Jacobs has indicated that they will resort to the use of Facebook if the National Communications Authority (NCA) goes ahead to shut down Accra based Radio Gold and Montie FM.
Already, the NCA has revoked the licenses of 34 radio stations across Ghana including that of Montie FM 100.1, for failing to renew their operating licenses.
About 90 others, including Radio Gold have been fined to pay various sums running into millions of Ghana cedis.
Radio Gold for instance is to pay about Ghc60million as a fine.
Contributing to a radio panel discussion on Peace FM on Wednesday, Mr Jacobs said the NCA’s move was an attack on free speech.
He concluded the move was an attempt by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government to shut down radio stations deemed favourable to the philosophy of the NDC.
Sounding sarcastic, he said the NDC will resort to the use of Facebook if the NPP goes ahead to shut down Radio Gold and Montie FM.

Are you sure your lobotomised,illiterate followers know what Facebook is?This apparition always talks through his hat. He makes no sense at all.
WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT THIS F LAT SCREEN NOZE MAN SAYS ABOUT NCA? THEY CAN GO TO THE SAE OR THE SKY FOR THEIR NEWS.THE QUESTION THEREFORE IS, DO ALL THESE STATIONS OWE OR THEY DON'T? LET PEOPLE HAVE THEIR PEACE OF MIND.
SO UPON ***barred word*** THE STATE COFFERS, NOBODY IS READY TO PAY FOR THESE USE1ESS RADIO STATIONS. WHERE IS OMANSOFO? ***barred word*** GALORE!!!!!
Fooooooooooooool. when u were in power, did u not know that u had to pay your fees to NCA? Eddddiot.
For lack of knowledge, Allotey Jacob will perish. Must u politicized everything that doesnt come to ur favour, there were over 36 stations like atinka, hello etc which were all included and their leaders are not complaining so why .or the radio gold and montie are above the laws? If u knew what was right u would have obeyed the law and payed each time to renew ur license. You can even use whatsapp or snapchat and no one cares
Then start dont waste time. Does it mean all these stations belong to NDC?
