Ken Agyepong’s threats to Erastus: Be resolute- GJA to Journalists

Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has urged media practitioners in the country to remain unwavering in the discharge of their duties despite threats from Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyepong.

Mr. Agyepong has threatened to beat Joy FM’s Erastus Asare Donkor for his testimony at ongoing Justice George Kingsley Koomson-led Committee probing the Ejura killings in the Ashanti Region.

The Multimedia Group has already dragged Mr. Agyepong to the police CID, petitioned Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, IGP and National Security Minister Kan Daapah about the outburst and intends to sue him over his alleged cash collections by some Joy FM Journalists from NPP stalwarts.

But, speaking at a press conference on Wednesday 13 July 2021 in Accra, President of GJA Roland Affail Monney said “We must remain resolute and guard against the culture of impunity that is gaining notoriety”.

The latest outbursts by the Chair of Defense and Interior Committee of parliament Mr. Agyepong has been met with a backlash from the media because similar comment in the past saw the death of Tiger Eye PI Journalist Ahmed Suale.
