The President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Kwabena Dwumfour, has strongly condemned the Mahama administration over the rising number of assaults on journalists.
Mr. Dwumfour revealed that since the start of President Mahama’s administration, seven cases of journalist attacks have been recorded, describing the situation as “unprecedented.”
Expressing deep concern over the lack of accountability for perpetrators, he criticized the government’s failure to take decisive action against those responsible.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, February 18, he stated, “It is also disheartening to note that just about 50 days into the second John Mahama administration, we have witnessed seven cases of assault against journalists, and this is unprecedented.”
The GJA President urged the government and law enforcement agencies to take swift action to protect press freedom and ensure that journalists can carry out their duties without fear of violence or intimidation.
