Financial Analyst, Sydney Casely-Hayford, has called for the restructuring and subsequent privatisation of the Ghana Broadcasting Cooperation (GBC), as a solution to it’s seeming bias against opposition political parties in electioneering seasons.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Citi FM’s\u00a0The Big Issue<\/strong>, Mr. Casely-Hayford asserted that, Ghana would be better off without using the country’s taxes to pay for an entity that is viewed as a pro-government propaganda setup.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I have an opportunity to influence the future direction of GBC, I will just privatise it. I would sell it and stop this state bias that we have because the NDC will come in and they will use the GBC for their own intentions. The NPP comes in and they do the same as well so we are not getting anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
