GNBA Leslie Sobers

August 9 2019

The Guyana National Broadcasting Authority, (GNBA) has flagged the Freedom Radio 91.1 Fm which is operated by the Peoples’ Progressive Party, Civic (PPP/C).

Chairman of the GNBA, Leslie Sobers, confirmed yesterday that the authority has issued several warnings to the station after it received complaints about content of the programme it aired.“Our Job at the GNBA is to monitor and having noted the violations of the radio station in regard to the Broadcasting Act, we have issued several warnings.“We had warned the operators specifically about the call-in programmes because the Broadcasting Act requires programmes be fair and balanced in content.”According to Sobers, programmes dealing with controversial public, political matters should not be used to tarnish people’s characters.In accordance with the regulations, Sobers stressed that must meet standards of fairness and balance, accuracy, maintaining a proper balance and respect for truth and integrity by always ensuring that opposing views are not misrepresented.

While the constitution guarantees Guyanese freedom of expression, the Broadcasting Act stipulates that all public comment, whether by way of interview, discussion, debate or phone-in conversation should be well mannered and courteous.According to the Act, contributors to live, phone-in and other programmes, as well as presenters themselves, must be briefed to minimize the risk of causing offence in matters of taste, decency, language or breaking the law.

Opposition Leader Bharat Jagdeo

But Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo accused the broadcast authority of specifically targeting PPP programmes.According to Jagdeo the broadcasting authority is terrorising radio and television stations which they perceive to be not sympathetic towards the government.“They want to censor my press conferences. So people get called over some things I said at my press conference.Manager of the Stations are asked, ‘can’t you find positive things to say about the government.’”Jadgeo believes a political ploy is at hand to silence the Opposition by limiting its freedom of speech.

The PNC never had any desire for freedom of expression. That is how we ended up with GNC and the Chronicle.

The man wanted the Indian population to know that if PNC cannot rig the election and win, coolies will be raped, killed, houses and business burned to the ground. He is planting the seeds of violence in the PNC goons.

Django, didn’t you know Basil William threatens “ Dire Consequences “ if H2H registration is not full filled.

Again, sometime in May 2019, he threatens violence if the Government is not allowed to carried out its mandate as elected. He was called out by the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce.

This is the Jackass who was meeting with Bandits in Buxton “ the famous jail break”

In Georgetown and few villages in Region 4 , Indo-Guyanese are targeted. The questions are do the Country need such occurrences, what should be done to quell such situations.

Django, you should know from History, the hooligans only go on the streets when they are encouraged to do so. They are called PNC Dogs.

1992 elections, the phone call from Carter to Desmond Hoyte at Congress Place to get his protesters off the streets in GT was adhere to...

Did you forget Basil Williams threatens Nadalall live on TV in parliament during the NCM “ I gon deal with you “

Django, a primary school kid can listen to that video and tell you where the threat was made. I don’t understand how difficult it is for you to read between the lines of Basil statement, when we are dealing with the individual who’s party has a history of violence in Guyana.

Who’s property Basil was referring to bhai.

I quit arguing the same shyte year after year but will say this one more time.You all know why the PNC and UF were against the PPP (mainly Indians) but just cannot accept the fact the PPP under Jagan was heading the COMMUNIST route, all y'all skonts can see is skin colour not the fkn facts.
