Stakeholders involved in the implementation of Ghana’s Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) infrastructure held a meeting to find a lasting solution to the seeming impasse between the government and GIBA on the matter.

However, Kennedy Agyapong, and a member of the Committee, Sam George, nearly traded blows in a meeting though calm was restored, allowing the meeting to take place.

Explaining further the circumstances leading to that misunderstanding, Mr. Agyapong said he had to query his colleague for putting into the public domain, a matter that had been discussed solely among committee members on the raging issue.

The Communication Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has been blamed for the current controversy over Ghana’s Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) platform, and the role of Chinese firm, StarTimes.
