Ghanaian media personality and TV host, Captain Smart, has accused the ruling NPP of giving GHS 20,000 each to the journalists who attended the press conference held by the party’s presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on Sunday, August 25.
Captain Smart strongly criticized this behavior, saying, “Ghanaian broadcasters, you are ruining the nation. In any corrupt society, the only institution capable of fighting corruption is broadcasting and journalism.
But instead, you sit at Kempinski and in just three to four hours, you’ve pocketed GHS 20,000 each. I’m speaking out, and I want all the presenters to challenge me. I’m ready to confront your foolishness, your nonsense, and your corrupt behavior.
The alarming trend of journalists accepting bribe money from the government, compromising their integrity and eroding the public's trust in the media. Even my own people 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ pic.twitter.com/rU2b7R16Rv
