The Minister of Information,Mustapha Hamid, has responded to the petition presented to his ministry against three private television stations claimed to be showing pornographic movies on their networks.
The minister has appealed to the three porn TV stations, that is, TV XYZ, ICE TV and THUNDER TV, to refrain from telecasting porn movies on their networks.
Speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues last Saturday, the minister posited that “it is in our calendar to send the broadcasting law to parliament next year for passage. Hopefully when we get to the broadcasting law and we succeed in getting it passed, we will have proper regulation for what it is that people can broadcast and what it is that people cannot broadcast. But as I said, until the time comes we are sort of handicapped a bit”.
The minister further said that for now, the government can at best appeal to the moral conscience of local TV stations not to broadcast explicit and uncensored sexual content on their various networks.
It would be recalled that two broadcasters, Tony Annan Forson and James Oberko last Monday , June 12 presented a petition to the National Media Commission (NMC) and the Ministry of Information against the three private TV stations they claimed are showing pornographic movies
