The National Media Commission has determined that the treatment meted out to Mr Caleb Kudah, a journalist with Citi FM/Citi TV, by operatives of the Ministry of National Security and the subsequent invasion of the premises of Citi FM & Citi TV on Tuesday, May 11, this year were wrong.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has added its voice to the growing number of condemnations against the alleged arrest and assault on two journalists of Accra based Citi Fm/CitiTV by National Security Operatives.
In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the NDC said the alleged attack on Mr Caleb Kudah and the harassment of Mrs Zoe Abu-Baidoo Addo formed part of what it described as a culture of impunity under the Akufo-Addo administration.
It mentioned the recent alleged attack on the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator by some persons believed to be part of a vigilante group and the presence of military men on the floor of Parliament during the election of a Speaker of Parliament to drive home its point.

Reactions have been building up over the alleged arrest and assault on two Citi FM/Citi TV reporters by National Security operatives.
Majority of the reactions have been critical of the treatment meted out to the two journalists - Mr Caleb Kudah and Mrs Zoe Abu-Baidoo Addo - but the Ministry of National Security says it has initiated investigations into the matter.
The development has also bot been devoid of drama, with the President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Mr Affail Monney at the centre.
After he had earlier condemned Mr Kudah for taking photos within the prescincts of the National Security without authority, he made a U-turn yesterday, apologising with an explanation that his earlier reaction was based on the “scanty” information he had at the time he responded.
