Member of Parliament for Ketu North Constituency Dr James Avedzi Klutse has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is working on \u201ccourting the media\u201d to offer better opposition to government\u2019s programmes and projects.<\/p>\n
He said it was not true that the NDC was not media friendly in government and that it was just natural for opposition parties to court the media for the citizenry to know the other side of issues.<\/p>\n
Dr Avedzi was interacting with the leadership and members of the Volta Region chapter of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) as part of the World Press Freedom Day celebration at Xikpe in the Ketu North District.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf what we did in government wasn\u2019t enough, we are ready to court you now\u2026,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Dr Avedzi appealed to the media to help project the voice of the opposition to \u201cexpose\u201d issues that government would want to shield from the public.<\/p>\n
He praised the media for its effort in growing the country\u2019s democracy and urged practitioners to always \u201creport on the truth which can be tested in any court\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Regional Association marked this year\u2019s World Press Freedom Day with a trip to tourist sites in the Keta Municipality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
