Addressing members of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) during a courtesy call at the Jubilee House on Friday, September 5, 2025, the President expressed concern over the rising cases of assaults against journalists.
According to him, these issues continues to persist due to the lack of legal sanctions against perpetrators.
