The National Communications Authority (NCA) has sued the Electronic Communications Tribunal alleging possible bias in a case in which the Authority closed down some radio stations in the country.
Some stations closed down for supposedly breaching the country’s electronic communications regulations, including Radio XYZ, went to the Tribunal to seek redress but the NCA feels uncomfortable with some decisions taken by the Tribunal.
The NCA in its suit filed at the High Court, want the Chairman of the Tribunal, Samuel Kofi Date-Bah, whose resignation will take effect on July 1, 2019, to be prevented from presiding over some cases before him.
“That the contents of the letter of resignation of the Tribunal Chairman raises a strong likelihood of bias in the cases pending before the Tribunal against the Applicant [NCA] and therefore prays the Court to prohibit him from continuing to hear any of the cases involving NCA at the Tribunal.
