Linda Ofori-Kwafo who chaired discussions at STAR Ghana’s anti-corruption learning event held Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at the La Palm Hotel acknowledged the sacrifices media persons make in exposing corrupt practices in the country, especially relating to government officials. “It is about time the CSOs stand up and condemn the violence against the media personalities because of the important roles they play in the fight against corruption. Not too long ago we had Mohammed Suale of blessed memory being killed...we had some media persons from Ghanaian Times being assaulted by the police officers who are supposed to be protecting us,” she noted. In an interaction with Ghanaweb she noted that, CSOs and stakeholders must stand firmly behind media persons in their bid to fight corruption and also demand justice for media persons who have been involved in any brutality in their line of duty.
