Mr Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, Member of Parliament for Ho-West on Monday lauded the Ghanaian media for providing the platform for a vigorous discourse of national issues.<\/p>\n
He said this role, combined with the other functions of the media, had contributed to maintaining Ghana\u2019s democratic dispensation on course.<\/p>\n
Mr Bedzrah was addressing Journalists in the Volta Region at a soiree he hosted in Ho.<\/p>\n
He observed, however, that some Journalists continued to peddle inaccurate information, unsubstantiated facts and sloppy opinions.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we are once more going heading towards the political season, I wish to use this platform to appeal to the media to cross check their information before going to press,\u201d Mr Bedzrah stated.<\/p>\n
He said he was completely amenable to constructive criticisms and that the National Democratic Congress (NDC), of which he is a member, cherished probity, accountability and transparency.<\/p>\n
Mr Bedzrah had consistently supported media activities in the Volta Region in the past three years, providing a desktop computer with accessories for the Volta Regional Office of the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA).<\/p>\n
He has also promised to connect the GJA office to the internet very soon.<\/p>\n
Mr Bedzrah announced that a site on the net, www.howest.org would soon be active for all information needed on the Ho-West constituency.<\/p>\n
He said views that government was not doing much for the Volta Region were wrong and that the region was getting its fair share of development projects.<\/p>\n
Mr Victor Kwawukume, the GJA Volta Regional Chairman lauded Mr Bedzrah\u2019s for his contribution towards the media.<\/p>\n
He said but for Mr Bedzrah, the crucial channel of information between members of parliament in the Volta Region and their people would have been void. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
