Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has noted that he is no longer with the Fourth Estate and the Media Foundation For West Africa (MFWA).
The Fourth Estate is an investigative institution which has undertaken investigations into various activities over the years. The latest investigative work undertaken by the Fourth Estate is the National Service Secretariat scandal.
In the NSS Scandal, officials at the National Service Authority (NSA) allegedly circumvented mandatory validation processes for payments of allowances to national service personnel, enabling thousands of nonexistent names to be added to the payroll.
This made it easy to use the ghost names to drain the public purse of millions of Ghana cedis in allowances intended for national service personnel.
Meanwhile, the Media Foundation for West Africa, the parent company of the Fourth Estate, works to promote freedom of expression, press freedom, access to information, internet freedom and media development.
Manasseh Azure Awuni has worked for the two esteemed organisations since he left the Multimedia Group. But in a Facebook post, the outspoken journalist emphasized that he no longer works for the aforementioned institutions.
He thanked those tagging him for the staggering revelation in the NSS Scandal but pointed out that he is no longer part of the team.
“Thank you for the mentions, but let me state once again that I’m no longer with The Fourth Estate, the MFWA’s project,” he posted.
Manasseh Azure Awuni is currently schooling in the USA. It is unclear if he will return to work with the two companies after his education or not.
