Journalists are chasing appointments instead of holding government accountable - Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu

Chief of Staff at Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s office, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu, has expressed concerns over the appointment of journalists by the current government.

According to him, this is breeding a lack of accountability by the current government because other journalists, instead of seeking accountability, are lacing their boots for future appointments.

To him, this is hurting the country because there is no critical voice exposing the shortfalls of the current government.

He believes that it is time to be forthright with ourselves and speak truth to power.

“The current government has given positions to journalists, so now when you go to media houses, the people there are all lacing their boots for future appointments. So they cannot speak truth to power. They are hoping for a future appointment.

That is what is hurting this country. Let’s be forthright with ourselves and let us speak the truth as a people,” he said while speaking in an interview.
