DSTV Impasse: Minority Committee Members Fire Back at Sam George

The ongoing debate over the DSTV subscription controversy has taken a new twist, as minority members of Parliament’s Committee on Communication and Information have issued a sharp rebuttal to comments made by Hon.

According to the minority, they had formally written to the committee chairman—who is a majority member—requesting a meeting to address the DSTV impasse, but stressed that only the chairman has the authority to summon such meetings. The statement also recalled an earlier position taken by Hon. Sam George, i...
