Lawyers for the Member of Parliament for Effiduase/Asokore in the Ashanti Region, , have requested the National Media Commission to cause TV3 and Onua TV stations to retract what they describe as offensive publications against the lawmaker.
It will be recalled that TV3 and Onua TV published a video of the MP speaking on the galamsey at a New Patriotic Party event, following which he became the subject of public scrutiny.
The video from the two media houses, both under the Media General Ghana company, was challenged by the MP, who indicated that the contents as published were deliberately done without recourse to the context within which he spoke. "So, what the TV3 people did was that when I said we will not stop today or tomorrow, they actually truncated and doctored it out and then made it look like all I said was we are not doing anything about galamsey and we will not stop today or tomorrow.
That is a misrepresentation; it actually put me out of context," Dr Ayew maintained.
