  We are suffocating under the many taxes imposed by this Government. Enough is enough. Even if we have to pay TV license, GTV is not the best TV Station, so why must it get the lion's share? Why must tax payers pay for GTV's inefficiency? Don't just suspend the proposed TV tax, scrap

  Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah used mobile cinemas to educate the masses on important issues such as hygiene, etc. One would have thought that GBC, replacing the mobile cinemas, would do a better job of educating our people with local dramas and documentaries. Instead all we see is either some church choir dancing from side to side to hymns, or some Spanish soap operas. And for this GBC wants to charge us? How many people even tune in to GBC? If one tries, the volume setting has to be INCREASED WAY BEYOND the setting for other stations? Does the CEO (and his production team) ever monitor their broadcast?

  Is this Ghana? I can feel that we are gradually becoming slaves on our own land. We are always working for long hours, receiving tokens and paying duplicated taxes to our slave masters even to the extent that we had no say in this TV license issue until Tarzan dragged in to court. Hmmm Ghana, so didn't they know that we needed education?

  if we get 10persons like Tarzan in Ghana mostly all the corrupt Minister will run their head into the burning hell.
  government of Ghana must pay GBC for her public broadcasting, because gbc is addicted to mismanagement so they cannot stop running adverts , which is also against the same very law they want to use to squeez the people

  I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHY GHANAIANS LEADERS DO NOT HAVE THE COMMONSENSE TO COME UP WITH MORE SENSIBLE INNOVATIVE IDEAS TO GENERATE REVENUE.
  
  THE AGE-OLD "GOVERNMENT SUBVENTION SYNDROME" BREAST-FED TO THESE SO-CALLED HEADS OF PARASTATALS HAS RENDERED GHANA'S LEADERS LAZY, USELESS AND BRAIN-DEAD, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO EXPLOIT THE MASSES.

  They should improve their services first, scramble their services secondly and go digital, before talking about fees.
  And oh, they should stop sharing the lady broadcasters among themselves.
