The Director of Communication for the Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has confirmed that journalists invited to the #BawumiaHostsTheMedia event, held on Sunday, August 25, 2024, were paid amounts between GH¢2,000 and GH¢5,000. Speaking to Fact-Check Ghana, Miracles Aboagye explained that the payments were intended to facilitate and ensure the comfort of journalists invited for the event coverage. He, however, denied claims of paying journalists and media houses between GH¢10,000 and GH¢20,000 as is being speculated on social media. "I haven't given any GH¢20,000 or GH¢10,000 to any media house. The highest amount of money any media person received was between GH¢ 2,000 and GH¢ 5,000. They are all not the same, some were even bloggers," he said.
