FIPAG Bans Showing Of Ghanaian Movies In Buses | What About The Barber Shops, Hair Salons & Restaurants?


According to multiple online reports, the Film Distributors and
Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) will ban the showing of
Ghanaian movies in buses from February 1, 2014—and any bus owner
or driver who will continue to show these movies will be arrested.
Showing movies in buses, aeroplanes or at several commercial places
in itself is not an offense, provided you have the required licence or
authority to do so.
Considering the fact that many of these long bus journey passengers
derive a little bit of comfort and entertainment from these movies, it
would be profitable for both FIPAG and these bus drivers to come to
an agreement where FIPAG would issue the latter with licences under
a payment scheme.
If not, these drivers will continue showing these movies and employ
all tactics to avoid FIPAG from catching up on them.
