General News of Sunday, 13 May 2018Source: 3news.comAkufo-Addo should insist on Hajia Fati’s suspension – JantuahKwame Jantuah, Vice Chairman of Public interest and Accountability CommitteeVice Chairman of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee, Mr Kwame Jantuah is demanding that President Akufo-Addo orders the suspension of Hajia Fati, following her assault on a female journalist. Hajia Fati although apologised to Ohemaa Sakyiwaa Awehenepa of Adom FM days after slapping the journalist who was undertaking her official duty at the NPP headquarters on May 4, 2018, many don’t see her apology remorseful enough. President Akufo-Addo had touted the country’s democracy and the conducive environment Ghanaian journalists operate at the event. Holding the president to account based on the president’s stance on press freedom, Mr. Jantuah said the NPP’s apology on the assault “would have come from the highest executive of the NPP…” level. President Akufo-Addo should have been the first to have indicated to Hajia Fati that her action was intolerable, he underscored.
