  Ghanaweb, I have emailed you to point out the mistake in the byline - and asked you to kindly rectify it for me.
  
  Alas, it results from a mysterious problem with my tablet's autocorrect - and the fact that I am getting rather senile and forgetful in my old age.
  
  Please change it from Kafui to Kofi.
  
  And I would be grateful if you could do a random check on some of those I emailed to you in the past to see if the same thing occurred.
  
  Kafui is a nice name. I have nothing against it. But my name is Kofi not Kafui. Thanks.
  
  Many thanks in advance. And peace and blessings to all of you.
  
  Kind regards,
  
  Kofi (not Kafui!).

  "Alas, to safeguard freedom of expression in Ghanaian society, we must perforce tolerate the few irresponsible journalists in the midst of our nation's fraternity of media professionals, and of necessity put up with the mendacity of the unethical media houses they often work for "
  
  What does 'few irresponsible journalists in out midst' mean? Few is what exactly? Numbers please.
  
  Clearly you don't know well enough the influence media (journal lists, social commentators or whatever you choose to call them) have on persons. Odd considering you are a journalist. Noo? How many men with outreach power of radio, internet, and newspapers does it require to misinform or corrupt the minds of many? Go ask the rewandans. A society that does not safe guard the quality of information dissemination is one that is doomed to fail. Let's shun mediocrity and advance our people and society. There are one too many rotten apples among Ghanaian journalists. Its about time they were reskilled and given other jobs to do.
