In the light of many reported assaults against journalist in the country, President of the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) Roland Affail Monney has said the Association is contemplating on coming out with a resolution for all political parties to hold their press conferences at press centre.
This issue was triggered by the latest attack on a journalist with a private radio station Adom Fms reporter Ohemaa Sakyiwaa at the New Patriotic Party head office by Hajia Fati.
In an interview with the GJA President on if the Association would boycott covering events organised by the NPP, he said, “it is an option but we have not come to that decision yet as an Association”.
He further added that the incident is a clear case of assault and to add insult to injury, the Hajia Fati described seeing the journalist as an “onion seller”.
“Our laws should be seeing working; this is a very clear case of assault, when this incident happened the woman failed to show remorse, if she is found to be on the wrong side of the law, she should be made to face the law we will never give up until justice is done”.
