  I think they should have complained publicly like they do for others. We don't have to lose a single life before complaining.

  Our country needs to look after its hard working people well. I happened to be at the 37 when the first casualties arrived and it was horrible. We all cried. We cannot waste our people like this. We must wake up.

  I cannot think about the day any of you you will pass up such a golden opportunity. You people should do a little introspection, so you can mend your ways.

  May be Nuamah was an exception,given all the nice things people have said about his devotion to duty; and it is just too bad,that he among all you losers, met this horrible and unfortunate tragedy.
  May his soul rest in peace.

  Behave like real 'pros', and you`ll be accorded all the respect you deserve.
  Recall what the British High Commissioner said about you folks?

  I am disappointed in you Acheampong. You should have limited yourself to the insecurity of the vehicles the press corps commute with and not talk about how you expect to be treated at the presidency.
  The security man and the cleaness you cited play a major role at the presidency than you if nit equal to your contribution. Are the press men and women employed by the presidency? If you want better care discuss that with you employer. What maked you think you are better or equall yo the cleaner? Remember he is employed by the presidency and you are not.Thank your stars you were even given per diem; it should have been the responsibility of thr media house you work for, the reason your other colleagues were thankful.
  Do you also know that the journalists are at the presidency to be vigilant, listen and look to write.You should know it is the resoonsibility of the presidency to also protect vital information and national secrets in the intetest of the nation of which you sre a subset? You couldn't even wish your friend RIP in your piece.
  All your complaint could have been a story at the time you were there to make it credible and you brave. But Im sorry to say you acted as a coward and failed.

  Great piece Stoway. U said my mind exactly. Journalists at the presidency are not employees of the state. Its the responsibility of the various media houses to take care of their feeding, transport, and perdiem. In America media houses pay to enter the air force 1 or look for their own means of transport. Stop being crying babie Mr Acheampong

  Media personnel should report on such issues...unfairness in the system. It is everywhere. Most Ghanaians live in dirty environment. Dust all over. Let a Minister or party man come into the area, the roads will be tarred. Look at the double layer roads in Adenta. Dye to poor filling of potholes, we have double layer roads. Why do we have animal rights in some countries? If you treat animals well, you can treat people well. If you treat the environment well, you will treat people well. No environmental standards..no one writes, when it comes to govt men. There is money. When it is about the people no more. Poor govt schools, poor give hospitals. But Bigman will send children to School Abroad and medical care abroad. Serious Media men must focus on unfairness else the disdain will be systemic.

  What at all do these reporters get from such trips?
  Sometimes, they don't even report the truth, God save us.

  If you all stay put and not go on a couple of trips the President would come down his high "donkey" to see you, because wants coverage. Your collective fear to standup has resulted your friends death.

  All you guys who have made comments on this article I salute you. This guy failed to realize that all the equipment, the support the motivation and other freebies such as travel allowances and compensations should come from their employers not the presidency. They should be thankful for whatever they get from the presidency no matter how little.
