The Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has described as false the perception being held by a section of the public to the effect that there is a return to the culture of silence in the country is not true.
Responding to questions at an interactive session with Journalists at Wa in the Upper West Region, Mr. Nkrumah said government has rather been creating more conducive atmosphere for the media to thrive. He cited the passage of the Information Act as one of the commitments of government to enhance media freedom.
The Information Minister said people need to be tolerant of views they disagree with instead of branding it as culture of silence.
On the closure of some radio and television stations by the National Communication Authority, NCA for lack of authorization, the Information Minister said that should not be misconstrued as a return to the culture of silence.
