Akua Sena Dansua has issued a venomous parting shot at Ghanaian sports journalists in the country claiming they were bribed to oust her from office.
\nHer shocking outburst came hours after she was replaced as the Ghana sports minister after government reshuffle on Tuesday.
\nShe had rough ride in charge of the sensitive sector with heavy media criticism of her modus operandi.
\nWith a US$50,000 World Cup budget for media relations during the tournament still unaccounted for, her relationship with the media turned sour.
\nDansua has taken charge of the tourism ministry but insists sports journalist were given kickbacks to destroy her reign insisting she will excel in her new post
\n\u201cI know that some of you were paid money to destroy me in this ministry but I have survived it, so let me go in peace,\u201d Dansua said on Citi FM in Accra.
\n\u201cYou will see what I will do in this new ministry.\u201d
\nDansua pointed the finger at sports journalists at Citi FM but refused to name names when pressed by the presenter.
\n\u201cI won\u2019t mention names, they know themselves\u2026some of them are at Citi FM,\u201d the new Ghana tourism said.
\n\u201cI am not a small girl, I am not a novice in this game, and as I said I won\u2019t mention any names. If you ask me a hundred times I won\u2019t mention names.\u201d
\nDansua, who is a trained journalist and worked with the Ghanaian Times as Features Editor, says the profession has been thrown to the dogs.
\n\u201cWhen I was doing Journalism where were they [Sports Journalists]?,\u201d Dansua asked.
\n\u201cThe kind of Journalism they are doing today is not what we were taught in the school of Journalism, they should learn to respect people.
\n\u201cPeople have built their credibility over the years and so small boys cannot sit on radio and destroy us\u2026I will not mention any names.\u201d
\nHer outburst will win her few media friends even as she takes her the less sensitive tourism ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
