STATEMENT: Appiah Kubi has no hand in closure of Salt FM
Hon. lawyer Andy Appiah Kubi’s attention has been drawn to the closure of one of the biggest radio stations in Asante Akim and even the Ashanti region, the Agogo based Salt 95.9 fm yesterday.
He was very surprised to hear that people are pointing fingers at him and his NPP government that they are those behind NCA for the closure of the station.
He would like to state categorically that , he has not met or spoken with any NCA official in relating to the closure of salt fm. As a matter of fact , he is not aware of any attempt by any government official for the cause of the closure of salt fm which is in his constituency.
He understands there was even a demonstration against NCA, him and his NPP government yesterday in Agogo. He is told it even started from the health walk that was organised by the Salt fm owner on Sunday where police took interest because of security concerns. He is just praying that the demonstrations are not motivated by what he calls a “well planned and calculated political interest” by some of his political opponents in Asante Akim north.
Salt fm is one of the radio stations he has been using quite often , he has a good relationship with the owner , Charles Ohene Kwame Frimpong, how on earth would that happen ? For what purpose !
We should not kill and destroy our heroes in the name of petty partisan politics, he is in solidarity with salt fm and he promises to do whatever he can do in his capacity as a member of parliament of the good people of Asante Akim north constituency to help the station to be on air soon.
