GJA assures to engage media owners, Parliament on journalists’ condition of service

The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has said it plans to engage stakeholders to improve the conditions of service for journalists.

The group’s announcement comes after Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin called for a Condition of Service Scheme for journalists.

Speaking to Citi News on the sidelines of a forum to celebrate the first anniversary of the current GJA administration, GJA President Albert Kwabena Dwumfour said that improved conditions of service and remuneration would enable journalists to effectively deliver their duties.

“We believe that there is a need for us to ensure that journalists’ salaries or working conditions are not compromised

Dwumfour said that the GJA would “do the needful” and engage with the Speaker, other members of parliament, and all media stakeholders to look into how to improve the conditions of service for journalists.
