President Akufo-Addo has touted the role of the media in Ghana's democracy.

He said the media, since the attainment of the country's independence from colonial rule, have played a pivotal role in the gains made so far. "The media plays a vital role in any democracy, serving as the cornerstone of truth and accountability.

By providing accurate and timely information, journalists empower citizens to make informed decisions, especially during elections.

They are the watchdogs who hold power to account, expose corruption, and ensure that governments remain transparent and responsive to the people they serve.
