Top journalists get government appointments

His comment follows JoyNews' Emefa Apawu, TV3's Paa Kwesi Asare and others. President John Dramani Mahama's second coming has paved the way for some prominent broadcasters to land key positions at various state institutions.

Once known for holding power to account, these media professionals now find themselves on the other side of the story - crafting policy, managing communications, and shaping national narratives from within government walls.

A seasoned broadcaster with Joy FM, Mr Raymond Acquah, landed a major role as a Technical Advisor, Strategic Communications at the Finance Ministry.

In this capacity, Raymond will lead efforts to enhance public engagement and formulate the communications strategy.

Emefa Apawu gets an appointment

Emefa Apawu, a prominent face associated with the Multimedia Group Limited, has also been tapped for a government role.

She has landed a role at the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation as its new Corporate Affairs Manager.

Paa Kwesi Asare gets an appointment

The third journalist to have received a government appointment was former TV3 employee, Paa Kwesi Asare, who landed a new role at the communications department of the Bank of Ghana.

Mugabe blasts Mahama for not appointing pro-NDC journalists

The appointment of the above and others hurt Mugabe, and he couldn't help but criticise the John Mahama-led NDC administration.

Venting his spleen, he noted that the President has failed to recognise the hard work of the journalists who failed so hard to bring him into office.

He also criticised some government officials and staunch NDC members, describing them as arrogant. Mugabe claimed some no longer answer his calls after gaining positions in government.
