Information available to the New Statesman newpaper indicates that the communications directorate of the New Patriotic Party has taken a decision not to participate in any radio programme on Asempa FM and has accordingly served notice to its entire membership to abide by this decision. The decision of the party according to sources at the party�s headquarters is borne out of the deliberate policy of �Eko Sie Sen�, current affairs programme on Asempa FM, to continually focus its programming agenda on attacking the Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and the party as a whole. This sustained campaign by �Eko Sie Sen� of attacking Nana Addo has been ongoing for the last couple of years and thus has prompted the party to register its displeasure, firstly though protests to Multimedia group and now the boycott of Asempa FM. The NPP admits that it not in a position to determine for any media house how they run their programmes, however, we are at liberty to determine whether or not to continue promoting or participating on a program that we are convinced and, indeed, many well-minded listeners are equally convinced that is designed to unfairly attack the NPP and its leaders, especially our flagbearer� sources said.
