President John Mahama has strongly condemned the assault against JoyNews journalist Carlos Calony and a civilian by soldiers during a demolition exercise at Spintex.
President Mahama further emphasised that as a card‑bearing member of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), he will not oversee or tolerate any attacks on journalists.
Speaking during the swearing‑in ceremony for the final batch of deputy ministers, he declared: "Allow me to condemn in the strongest terms the recent incident involving the manhandling of some journalists by our security personnel.
Such conduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
