Gov’t pursuing misinformation law while protecting media freedom – Shamima Muslim

Speaking at the inaugural CJID Ghana Media Summit in Accra on behalf of the Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Ofosu Kwakye, Ms Muslim said the government recognises the growing impact of false information on democratic institutions, elections, public health and national cohesion.

Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Shamima Muslim says the government is committed to combating misinformation without undermining press freedom, insisting that protecting information integrity has become both a governance and national security priority."These actions reflect the essence of our reset agenda—not a government that fears scrutiny, but one that understands that accountability, responsible journalism, access to information, digital literacy and public trust are essential foundations for democratic stability and national development," she said.
