The Court May Be Spineless, but the Ghanaian Media is Totally Bankrupt
Listen to article
When Mr. Yahaya Kwamoa, the young news reporter with Government-owned Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), was savagely mauled by Mahama Communications Director Mr. Stanislav Xoese Dogbe – I hope I have his middle name spelt out correctly – the President of the Ghana Journalists’ Association (GJA), Mr. Affail Monney, literally put his tail in-between his legs. He would be called up to the Presidency groveling, after he had weakly whined about his junior-staff employee’s having been afforded a raw deal by the Mahama Presidency. He had absolutely no cojones or balls then. And then when Mr. Samuel Nuamah, a Jubilee House-affiliated Ghanaian Times’ correspondent perished in a road accident, primarily caused by the gross negligence of some key operatives of the Mahama Presidency, Mr. Monney, who is also a director at the GBC, did absolutely nothing by way of getting the Mahama government to substantially compensate the victims of this patently gross exhibition of rank professional negligence or dereliction of duty.
