Kwame A-Plus, a political activist and media figure, has harshly condemned the New Patriotic Party’s letter to UTV, calling it “without merit.”
He has voiced grave worry over the content and propriety of the NPP letter, implying that it is an attempt to erode press freedom and establish control over media content and editorial viewpoints.
A-Plus has expressed his displeasure with the party for attempting to undermine the constitutional provision governing media freedom, noting,
“This letter is appalling because we have received threatening calls from people plotting to disrupt the show. NPP members should refrain from such actions and should not write such letters again. This is an absurd letter.”
He continued by asserting, “No one in this country can dictate what we do on this show, especially when the president is a seasoned lawyer and someone who believes in the rule of law.”
A-Plus tore up a copy of the letter in fury and warned the political group not to send such an aggressive letter again.The NPP leadership had written to the Despite Media Group, requesting a reform of their primetime entertainment show, United Showbiz.The party expressed worry that the show’s UTV panel has frequently lambasted the administration, casting suspicion on the show’s motivations and driving the call for reform.
