Owners of Montie FM fined GHC 60,000
Owners of Accra-based Montie FM, who have been
convicted for contempt charges by the Supreme
Court, have been fined 60,000 cedis to be paid
tomorrow, Thursday, July 28.

This was after the two panelists, and the Host of
the ‘Pampamso’ political show, Salifu Maase,
alias Mugabe, were sentenced to four months in
prison, and fined Ghc10,000 each, also to be paid
by close of Thursday, July 28.

Failure to pay the amount according to the Court,
will attract another one-month prison term.

This was after Mugabe, allowed the two panelists
on his show to threaten to kill justices of the
Supreme Court, over their handling of the Abu
Ramadan suit, on the credibility of the voters’
register.

The Presiding judge, Sophia Akuffo, reading the
sentences said the two panelists willfully
attacked the Chief Justice and lowered the
authority of the court by insisting that they will
not accept its judgment on a controversial matter
of the voter’s register.

The four directors of the station, which include
Harry Zakuor, Ato Ahwoi, Edward Addo and Kwesi
Kyei Atuah, who are managers of the two media
companies, Network Broadcasting Limited and Zeze
Media, are to pay Ghc30,000 each, bringing the
amount to Ghc60,000.

Citi News’s Fred Djabanor reported that “the
company has also been ordered to provide the court
with measures they have put in place to ensure
that such things do not happen again.”

According to Djabanor, the Presiding judge,
Justice Sophia Akuffo in her ruling, issued a
warning to media houses to be circumspect in their
reportage and let this development serve as a
deterrent to them.
