GNBA says to hold broadcasters to a higher standard

The Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) says that the letters it has recently issued to broadcasters have no political undertone or objective as seems to be the perception of the Parliamentary Opposition.

According to its press release yesterday, the GNBA also wished to clarify that notices issued to broadcasters for breaches to the Broadcasting Act are not intended in the first instance to lead to the closure of any broadcasting stations.

The Authority also stated that it functions as an impartial body and executes its mandate in a lawful and professional manner noting that its statutory mandate is to regulate, supervise and develop the sector.
