The deputy minister of information, Fatimatu Abubakar, has urged media owners and operators to respect Ghanaian cultural norms when producing content for domestic transmission.
Ms. Abubakar emphasized that although there is no government censorship or gatekeeping because of Ghana's basic freedoms, broadcast platform owners must take the preservation of Ghanaian cultural values into account.
She asserted that integrating Ghanaian cultural values will guarantee the creation of acceptable material that supports national growth.
These statements were delivered by Ms. Abubakar in her address on Monday during the celebration of Multichoice Ghana's 30th anniversary.
She praised Multichoice Ghana for its vital efforts to spread awareness of Ghanaian tales around the continent and noted the business's significant role in the development of jobs in Ghana's broadcasting industry.
The executive chairman of Multichoice Group, Imtiaz Patel, emphasized the financial contributions the satellite television provider has made to the Ghanaian economy throughout the course of its existence.
According to Mr. Patel, Multichoice Group has made almost $1.3 billion in economic investments in Ghana over a period of 30 years, proving this commitment to development and expansion via a number of projects.
He emphasized the beneficial effects of Multichoice's methods as he pointed out how the company's activities have grown from a modest office to a sizable operational presence.
According to Mr. Patel's outstanding statistics, Multichoice contributes nearly $44 million annually to Ghana's GDP while also making yearly contributions of about $15.8 million in local taxes and regulatory fees, plus other payments.
Regarding the development of jobs, Mr. Patel noted that the well-known Akwabaa Magic Channel has contributed $2.7 million a year to the domestic creative sector while creating about 1,500 jobs in the commissioning and licensing value chain.
Mr. Patel thanked customers for their steadfast support, which has been essential in producing top-notch television programs. He also expressed his gratitude to the Ghanaian government for fostering an atmosphere that was favorable to the Multichoice Group's development and functioning.
The chairman of Multichoice Ghana, Richard Darko, expressed satisfaction at having contributed to Ghana's broadcasting heritage. During the COVID-19 epidemic, he emphasized the company's efforts to practice corporate social responsibility, which included working with the Ministry of Education to host Ghana Learning TV on its platform and giving more than $100,000 in personal care items.
