People actually sacrificed the coins to ensure that there are consoles, cameras [to work with]. These people deserve to be recognized,\u201d he said during the unveiling of the list of nominees, Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chief Operating Officer of Big Events Ghana, Jesse Agyepong has said the relevance and credibility of the scheme cannot be pooh-poohed despite concerns some persons have raised about the event.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with www.ghanaweb.com, Mr. Agyepong said the brand has embraced criticisms and will keep welcoming suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe question of relevance keeps coming up and any award scheme which doesn\u2019t speak to the core of the reasons why it was set up, fails to be relevant. The reason for setting up the RTP is still the same. Media personalities play a very key role in our evolution as a country\u2026 So the platform has been created to ensure that those who are driving a very impactful agenda are recognized,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s still quite relevant. It\u2019s not a platform which hasn\u2019t have its challenges. The challenges still exits. Many individuals have spoken about regional representation\u2026 But I always say that we are a country that debates to help processes. So when Ghana challenges you, you should embrace it. What\u2019s important to us is to ensure that we embrace the challenges and make it work. Which is why this year, we organized an unveiling session\u2026 There are things we will fix along the line,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme is designed to celebrate radio and television personalities who have excelled in the field.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s is sponsored by Adonko Bitters.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Jkxt3FOe_c\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 updated by: 49 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 20 September 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-09-20 play videoPrince Mackay, CEO of Big Events Ghana named the four at a ceremony in Accra &#13;
