This is not the first time the NPP or Montie FM is topping the chart in this research. In a similar report released by the MFWA in June, the two led the pack of radio stations and political parties.

The MFWA report admitted that incidents of abusive language on radio still require the attention of stakeholders and therefore called on all to get involved.

Montie trio saga

The Supreme Court sentenced the Montie three (Alistair Nelson, Godwin Ako Gunn and Salifu Maase alias ‘Mugabe’) to four months in prison following contempt proceedings against them.

The contempt proceedings came after the three threatened the lives of Supreme Court judges who sat on the Abu Ramadan and Gary Nimako versus the Electoral Commission case.

A petition book was subsequently opened by pro-government group Research and Advocacy Platform (RAP) to collect signatures of Ghanaians to implore the president to exercise his prerogative of mercy powers to free the three contemnors.

After spending 27 days in jail, President Mahama remitted the sentence of the three.

The recent report according to the foundation covered the period of April-June, 2016.
