"NCA reacts to allegations of broadcasting and internet interference"

" \n The National Communications Authority (NCA), has denied allegations of interfering with broadcasting signals of some media houses as well as being able to restrict internet access on election day. \n \n\n \n The NCA in a press release dated Wednesday, November 23, denied allegations leveled against it by former Deputy Minister for Communications, Edward Sarpong, that the regulatory body hindered broadcasting signals of Abusua FM prior to an interview with former President John Mahama. \n \n\n \n It also denied further allegations of causing a break in transmission during a documentary airing by Accra-based Joy FM, noting that the break in transmission on the night of November 18, was experienced on multiple digital platforms. \n \n\n \n The NCA further in its press statement debunked assertions by former President John Mahama that it might shutdown the internet on election day, noting that it does not have access or the \"keys\" to the networks of Internet Service Providers, Broadband Wireless Access Service Providers and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in the country and therefore cannot remotely shutdown the internet. \n \n\n \n \"To block Internet or restrict access to a particular website, all submarine cable companies, MNOs and other service providers would have to agree to do so. The Authority has not directed any of its licensees to shut the Internet down on Election Day as claimed in the news report, and there is no intention to do so,\" read an excerpt of the statement. \n \n\n \n Find below details of the press statement: \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Press Release NCA Debunks Allegations Over Increasing Allegations of Interference November 2020 FInal (1) by Fuaad Dodoo on Scribd <iframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" title=\"Press Release NCA Debunks Allegations Over Increasing Allegations of Interference November 2020 FInal (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/embeds\/485596966\/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-puP6kF33LIfwnItxfC2J\" data-auto-height=\"true\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.7080062794348508\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_97098\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\"> (function() { var scribd = document.createElement(\"script\"); scribd.type = \"text\/javascript\"; scribd.async = true; scribd.src = \"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/javascripts\/embed_code\/inject.js\"; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s); })(); \n "
