GJA gives Central Region NDC seven days to apologise, compensate Obaatanpa Radio

The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Central Regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), demanding that it publicly acknowledge wrongdoing, apologise to Obaatanpa Radio, compensate the station for losses suffered and withdraw a court action initiated against the media organisation.

Addressing a press conference at the Ghana International Press Centre in Accra on Thursday, July 9, the President of the GJA, Albert Kwabena Dwumfuor, described an alleged attack on Obaatanpa Radio by the NDC regional executives as a serious assault on media freedom that must not be tolerated in a democratic society.

Mr Dwumfuor reiterated that safeguarding press freedom and ensuring accountability remain central to the GJA's mandate, adding that the Association would continue to speak out against all forms of intimidation directed at journalists and media institutions.
