Popular investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has sarcastically commented that, the ongoing Russia and Ukraine war has affected Ghana’s Press freedom ranking. He mockingly added President Akufo-Addo isn’t lucky.<\/p>\n

In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, 3rd May 2022, he wrote;<\/p>\n

“The war in Ukraine has affected Ghana’s press freedom ranking. Akufo-Addo isn’t lucky koraa o.”<\/p>\n

The comments of Manasseh Azure comes as a background to the current rank of Press Freedom released. Ghana drops to 60th place in the latest press freedom index. In 2021, Ghana was 30th.<\/p>\n

According to the report on the ranking, Press Freedom is deteriorating in Ghana. The west African nation often hailed as a bastion of free speech has dropped 30 places in the latest global Press Freedom Index.<\/p>\n

In Africa, the country fell from third to tenth place. The Press Freedom Index measures pluralism, media independence, and the safety of journalists. What is accounting for this decline? <\/p>\n
