The Minister of Chieftaincy and Culture, Mr Alex Asum Ahinsan has hinted that a new Bill to restrict the display of pornographic materials, be it on TV or iin the press will soon be taken to Parliament.
Mr. Asum Ahinsan says the Cinematography Act (Act 76) has been found to be grossly inadequate to control the indecent, pornographic, violent as well as culturally unacceptable films being exhibited on screens in public cinema, video theatres and on TV.
He was speaking in an interview with Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Friday.
According to him, the bill forms part of plans to minimize the effects of the exposure of the youth to pornographic and crime related films in the country.
He explained that the downward spiral in morality in the youth can be associated with pornographic images that have occupied the media.
The Chieftaincy Minister blamed parents and guardians for failing to take responsibility in the upbringing of the children explaining that some parents and guardians do not censor what their children watch and read in the media.
