Samson Lardy Anyenini has challenged the Ghanaian media to do more than report scandals by ensuring justice is seen through.
The award-winning broadcast journalist criticised what he described as the media's habit of moving from one story to the next without follow-ups. "Let us not move from one scandal to another without closure. "We must follow up, demand reports, and keep issues in the public domain until justice is done," he urged, calling for sustained engagement rather than fleeting commentary during a seminar organized by the Communication and Media Studies Students Association (CoMSSA) of the School of Communication and Media Studies (SCMS) at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) As Guest Speaker of CoMSSAFest 2025, Mr Anyenini highlighted the recently released 2024 Auditor General's Report, which revealed that 18.41 billion Ghana cedis had been misused or stolen-a figure often downplayed in official reports under the vague term "irregularities." "Irregularities-what is that?
That is not effective communication.
People have stolen these funds.
