As debate rages on, on the method use by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Member of Parliament for Effutu Alexander Afenyo-Markin is calling for his methods to pass through legal scrutiny.
According to the Effutu lawmaker, this would clear the air on the method use by the Journalist in his work to expose corruption in the country.
He made this remarks on Joyfm’s weekend current affairs programme, Newsfile when he said the method used by the investigative journalist is a breach of privacy.“You don’t lead somebody on into something and turn around and pronounce the person ‘guilty’, where you first show evidence to the public and let radio stations play the audio, what are you doing?” he questioned.
Again it is unfair to whoever the victim is adding “we should not celebrate that leg of the methodology by Anas.
The methodology employed by the ace journalist has come under heavy criticisms following his latest documentary, “Number 12”, which has so far implicated President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Following the private viewing of excerpts of the video by President Akufo-Addo and some top officials of the Presidency, it emerged that Mr Nyantakyi was allegedly negotiating for an amount of money using the name of the President and his Vice, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
