Joe Osei Owusu, has lashed at the <strong>Daily Democrat<\/strong> Newspaper for splashing on its front pages the pictures of two ladies  identified to be undercover reporters under the wings of ace  investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.<br \/>\nThe <strong>Daily Democrat<\/strong> newspaper published the pictures of two ladies who were busted at the  restricted areas of the Tema Harbour secretly filming and recording  security officials and CEPS officers.<br \/>\nThe paper alleges that Anas  Aremeyaw Anas\u2019 secret investigation at the Tema port was going to be  the basis of attack on the Atta Mills\u2019 led NDC government\u2019s genuine  commitment to fighting corruption from the opposition New Patriotic  Party (NPP).<br \/>\nSpeaking on <strong>e-TV\u2019s Breakfast TV<\/strong> Newspaper  Review, Hon. Osei Owusu questioned the newspaper\u2019s motive for publishing  the pictures of the ladies. He accused the newspaper of ignorantly  exposing the two investigative reporters to danger.<br \/>\n\u201cThe  publication of the ladies photographs will expose them to danger; there  is a huge risk that they are carrying now that people can identify them.  I cannot see the real value of publishing the photographs,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe  Independent MP further stated that the Democrat newspaper\u2019s effort at  creating the impression that Anas wanted to use his investigation to  play mischief was unfounded. To him, the issue of whether or not  government collaborated or funded the investigative piece is needless.<br \/>\n\u201cThe  way this paper has captured the story, it is making it as if Anas has  used it for some mischievous purpose, and it is in contrast to what has  been claimed by government that they collaborated \u2013 which is turning  into whether they collaborated or funded. For me that is not important,  what is important is that government saw some benefit in Anas work, so  for a paper that profess to be a supporter of the government to turn  round and pour ice, denigrate the work and expose the people involved to  danger is strange, unless there are forces within the party, which  operate from different angles,\u201d he noted.<br \/>\nAccording to him, even  though it is unsurprising that there is a high magnitude of corruption  at the Tema port, nobody has released such graphic evidence like Anas\u2019  expos\u00e9 and that makes it very important for the country.<br \/>\nHe emphasized that any effort to pour ice on and divert attention from the core issues of Anas\u2019 video on \u201c<strong>Enemies of The State<\/strong>\u201d, will be unwarranted and unfair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Member of Parliament for Bekwai in the Ashanti Region, Hon.
