As a consequence, the Independent Broadcast Regulator was one of three bills submitted to the Legislature in 2008 for enactment. So I submit to us that our country needs an independent broadcast regulator. Yes, if we had an independent regulator, the government would not have been in court with PUNCH FM and Roots FM – the regulator would been seized of the matters. I must commend the parent company of Punch FM, One Media Incorporated, for choosing to challenge the government’s action in court. So my friends, isn’t the ruling in the Punch FM case sufficient reason to rethink?
