Is This Hatred or Journalism?

Fri, 21 Apr 2006 Source: Issah, Mohammed

Dear Palaver Reporter,

In response to your report on the below topic on Sunday, April 16 2006 on Ghanaweb, I will like you to read and answer to all Ghanaweb readers on the few questions I ask:

Who actually donated the Tamale Hospital equipment?

IS THIS HATRED OR JOURNALISM?

You have all rights to tell Ghanaians on your side of any story but to be a responsible and good journalist; you cannot bring into a picture a daughter or son in-law of the vice president into this article. What does this report have to do with the VP daughter and son-in-law? Did Medshare International mention to you the name of the VP daughter or son-in-law?

You must come out on this site to apologies to the VP daughter and her husband otherwise you would be a hypocrite and a big coward. Is your goal for reporting this story is to inform us or insult the vice president daughter and her husband?

If you were out here to inform and educate us about these hospital equipment origins and to let us know that the VP has not been sincere for acknowledging Atlanta-based Medshare International and giving them the credit, then the VP daughter and her husband deserve an apology from you and your Newspaper.

This is typical a mind set of hatred and jealousy towards any good to the north. How many times many of us in abroad claimed to our villages and towns to be the backbone of such donations? How many times have you reported it? Because this is gone to the North and you felt jealous.

I do hope that our brothers and friends in Tamale and Northern region in particular will see this as an insult to them but not just a politics of destruction.

This is a shame to you as a journalist. You must apologies to the VP daughter and her husband.

I hope your carrier will not be feel in your heart with this open hatred and jealous to the Northerners.

Peace.

Mohammed Issah.
