Gayheart Mensah vows to protect journalists if voted as GJA President

A Presidential Aspirant in the upcoming Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) elections, Gayheart Mensah has promised to ensure the protection of journalists if voted into power.

Gayheart Mensah intends to correct what he describes as the GJA’s laissez-faire attitude toward building systems that prioritise the safety of journalists in the line of duty.

“I am not proud of belonging to an association that only specializes in issuing press releases when journalists are attacked.

Are we saying that, as a professional association, we cannot think and act proactively?

He pointed out that journalists will be empowered to freely express their views on pertinent national issues under his tenure.

Are we saying that as journalists, we do not have a voice

Editor of the Ghanaian Times and former General Secretary of the GJA, Dave Agbenu; communication consultant, Gayheart Mensah; and the Group Head of Corporate Affairs at the Tobinco Group, Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, are contesting for the position of President.
