Sometimes, he may be distracted or affected by this noise,\u201d Gyampo stated. <\/p>\n<p>He urged key NDC communicators like Edudzi to take a stronger stance and prevent the negativity from affecting the government\u2019s image. <\/p>\n<p>The first 100 days of Mahama\u2019s administration have been marked by controversy, but Gyampo remains optimistic about the government\u2019s efforts. <\/p>\n<p>He called for more concerted efforts to highlight the positive initiatives of the administration amidst the noise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Ransford Gyampo, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority, has called on communicators of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to shield President John Mahama and his administration from what he describes as the &#8220;empty noise&#8221; generated by critics who lack understanding of governance as reported by Ghana Web.
