The House of Representatives has revoked the media accreditations of four journalists including Mr. Musa Kenneh of Truth FM, who is also the President of the Legislature Press Pool (LEGISPOL). Mr. Kenneh was elected as President of LEGISPOL in 2017 and his tenure is expected to expire at the end of 2019. The Lower House, through the Press and Public Affairs Bureau, revoked the media accreditations on Friday, February 19, 2019, barring the four journalists from covering and attending all activities of the House of Representatives, including sessions. The other revoked media accreditations were those of Mr. Jackson Foyofayiah of Focus Newspaper, Ms. Meme Simoke and Mr. Edward Palmer of Corruption Watch. We are therefore requesting your institution to send a replacement of Mr. Musa Kenneh,” the letter to Truth FM said.
