Officials of Metro TV declined to speak on the matter immediately, our correspondent reported, but said in an argument with the GRA, some of the Metro TV officials insisted they have been making payments to the GRA though they are yet to cover the full arrears. The GRA said it has over the period followed the necessary processes to ensure that Metro TV pays the amount but to no avail. Asked whether it was an operational or management shutdown, he responded, “as you’ve seen, we have shutdown the whole place”.

The GRA has meanwhile served notice to other organisations, companies and institutions owing the state in taxes to endeavour to pay.
