The Office of the Clerk at the National Assembly wishes to inform the media fraternity that in addition to the designated Press Center for Reporters, all broadcast media that wish to cover the proceedings of the Assembly shall be given clean feeds by a host broadcaster.
Journalists who also wish to record the proceedings will also be given recorded footages.
This Announcement came days After the National Assembly on Monday 14th September denied entry of all media houses to cover the sitting on the drafted new constitution except for the state broadcaster GRTS, QTV and Eye Africa Tv.
Journalists from different media outlets showed their anger concerning this issue. Among them was kemeseng Sanneh who wrote that,
“The National Assembly has decided to discriminate against the private media. This is unacceptable, and a disregard for press freedom, which must be acted upon as soon as possible”.
Furious Sanneh added “This is a state event and all media institutions should be allowed to make reporting. The National Assembly should have taken the necessary steps.
