The Director-General of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), Dr Kwame Akuffo Anoff-Ntow is to proceed on indefinite leave.

The Board Chairman of the state broadcaster, Rev Prof Emmanuel Addo-Obeng, who confirmed the decision of the board, told GBC radio he was unable to tell how long Anoff-Ntow would be away.

He however said the decision arises out of the unpopular decision to seek prosecution of TV licence fee defaulters, a decision the D-G is said to have failed to seek the board’s approval for.
