  Mr Adofo! as an owner of a reputable radio station in Ghana, I wish to draw your attention to the fact that even though we inform and educate the public, it is not our duty to project the image of any political party. As much as we inform the public on 'dumsor',doctors strike,UTAG strike,tariff increment in Ghana, we must also inform them when schools and roads are constructed. We do all these things without any favour or bias. Remember the government in power gets more attention and therefore all the goods and bads are for them. We also give attention to the opposition parties. Mr Adofo remember the opposition is NOT ONLY NPP but includes parties such as the party of our first president and others. Mr Adofo let me tell you that just that you have invested in a political party since it is now a lucrative investment and eagerly waiting for it to come to power, those of us owning radio stations are in for profit since it is not state -owned ( buying of transmitters,antennae,console, paying salaries,VAT,income tax,SSNIT,District Assembly levies etc). We will therefore NOT PROJECT THE IMAGE OF NPP OR NDC. We will just present the news as it is and leave it to the public to judge.

  This does not mean that you media houses and journalists should accept bribes and report in favour of NDC. Let the people know the truth and stop telling lies to seek favour from NDC. You should also report on all the massive corruption imposed on poor Ghanaians.

  Adutwum, my brother we always expose any corrupt practices that we see . I will never accept a bribe from a politician to spoil the image of my radio station because that bribe cannot buy the goodwill of my company. Politics in africa is a business so Why should I protect the corrupt practices of a party to the detriment of my long-term business. Adutwum, I am surprised to read your comment that we take bribes from NDC. During NPP era too , the NDC also accused me of taking bribe from the Npp to conceal the evil deeds of the Npp but this didn't make us talk ill of the Npp if they had not done anything wrong.

  if vim lady is your yardstick for media fairness, then all you are saying is that all journalists should become npp appendages. she openly displays her bias against the ndc anytime and in everything all the time. why did you not mention kwaku baako who has sold his conscience to the npp?
