The host of a popular radio political talk show on Paradise FM, Kebba Camara aka DJ Kepz, has criticized the closure of the station characterizing it as an assault on freedom of expression.
The shut down followed an interview with a member of the Coalition, Halifa Sallah, who criticized the stinging dearth of adherence to the letter and spirit of the constitution by the outgoing government .
Speaking in an interview with this medium, he said:
"Gambians will be confused and there will be information black out. My platform was really enlightening people from Banjul to Koina. They will just be confusing people as they will be forced to watch only GRTS. This is an assault on freedom of expression. My show was for everyone including APRC, the Coalition and the GDC".
Prodded on what course his show will take following the order for closure of the radio station, the popular journalist declared:
"I wish to continue my show ,but other stations might fear closure. However, I will persist through innovative use of social media".
