Television show host insists that programme was taken off air through executive interference.

Mr. Kwaku Sakyi Addo, host of the television programme Kwaku One-on-One GTV and Front Page on JOYFM, today insisted that the TV programme Kwaku -One on One was taken off air because of what he says was wrongful executive interference with the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC). According to Mr. Sakyi Addo, President Rawlings' name was used on the 20th of December 1997 in an attempt to have the maiden edition of the programme aborted. In reaction to a statement issued by the government on some statements made by Mr. Addo, he said he did not say in his petition that the President had issued instructions for the programme to be taken off air. He maintained that what he said was that, he was reliably informed that the Communications Minister, Ekow Spio Garbrah had told the Director General of GBC, Dr. Kofi Frimpong that the former Information minister, Kofi Totobi Qaukyi had stated that the President did not want to see him on National Television. Mr. Sakyi Addo says he is prepared to name places where the ministers are alleged to have met to deliberate on this issue to the appropriate investigative institutions.
