It was rather unfortunate that some<br \/>\npoliticians mainly from the opposition painted the country in bad light on the<br \/>\ninternet and most of these students, refused to embark on the trip upon reading<br \/>\nthose articles. Only six, who were bold enough, traveled here,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Another incident he mentioned was the latest<br \/>\nallegation that President Nana<br \/>\nAkufo-Addo\u2019s daughter, Gyankroma Akufo-Addo, was contracted to airlift the<br \/>\nBlack Stars Supporters Union to Egypt for the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations<br \/>\nand, as a result, had bagged some $2.4 million.<\/p>\n<p>This was counteracted by a statement from the Youth and Sports Ministry, signed<br \/>\nby its Minister, Isaac Asiamah, which denied the claims that Gyankroma was in<br \/>\ncharge of feeding and sheltering the 120 supporters, each of whose travel<br \/>\nexpenses for the whole AFCON season amounted to US$20,000.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mr.<br \/>\nQuaye said the claims have made damages and dented the image of the first<br \/>\nfamily as publications have gone wide on various social media platforms on the<br \/>\nincident which was not true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing forward, I<br \/>\nbelieve, we must learn to do things right. NPP party communicators must be<br \/>\nquick to respond to such allegations and make sure it doesn\u2019t attract global or<br \/>\nnational attention. Ghana doesn\u2019t need propaganda at this stage of our national<br \/>\ndevelopment. What is needed, are ideas and contributions that will elevate the<br \/>\nnational discourse and progress\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nafis Quaye NAFIS QUAYE, a youth activist and entrepreneur, has bemoaned the use of propaganda by political parties to throw dust into the eyes of citizens.
