TUVALU GOVERNMENT DENIES TV DEAL WITH AH KOY http://www.pacnews.org
FUNAFUTI: The Tuvalu Government has denied working with Fiji businessman Jim Ah Koy to set up a nationwide television service, reports Pacnews.
Secretary to government Panapasi Nelesone said Ah Koy was assisting them in establishing links between the Funafuti Government and foreign television companies.
Nelesone says the Tuvalu Media Corporation had also engaged the services of an Australian company to carry out studies on establishing a television service covering the whole Tuvalu group.
