The Daily Graphic is a newspaper, not a government bulletin. Its job isn’t to amplify government achievements but to exercise editorial judgement and report what it considers newsworthy.
Doctors on strike affects healthcare delivery and potentially lives…that is undeniably front page news. The fact that the President is seeking investment abroad or that the Vice President is touring flood affected areas doesn’t automatically make those stories more important.
Ironically, criticising a newspaper for not acting as a government public relations outlet is a stronger indictment than the front page itself.
A free press is most valuable when it can decide what deserves prominence independently.
Guys, I was being a gentleman... but some Arsenal fans are getting too comfortable
You finally won the war after 22 years of banter 😂🏆
Now let's start another 50 years of banter about the Big Ears Cup

@TelecelGhana@asktelecelgh_ the marketing messages are too many aba. Every day you send a minimum of 3. Within a month you're sending at least 90 marketing messages. Why?
I can listen to Coach Nimley (I believe that’s his name) all day! He’s such a funny and passionate football enthusiast. And I only saw his photo this weekend when Citi posted videos of some of things he said on radio on Friday. I actually listened live and had a good laugh, even for someone like me who doesn’t know much about football 🫣🤭😆😂
Nobody said “the Ministry” personally entered my DM. The point was simple: the official NITA account engaged me to host/co-host a space on the NITA Bills, said NITA was hosting it, sent the flyer/link, and later said the time change was based on “Minister’s instructions.”
Now you’re shifting the goalpost to “show contact from the Ministry” because it is convenient.
If NITA had no authority to engage stakeholders on a NITA Bill Space, then that is your Ministry’s coordination problem, not “cheap lies” from the public.
You cannot hide behind technical distinctions when it suits you, then use the same agency to engage the public when it suits you.
The issue is still the same: answer the legitimate questions about the bills. Stay focused o
ghana's tech community has been in an uproar over the nita bill for weeks.
today, the minister sat down with the ecosystem to answer the hard questions.
here's what actually happened in that room.
A THREAD🧵
you see, people like @thedumbtechguy and @koboateng worked hard to publicize the atrocities in the draft bill. when it came time to discuss we didn’t prioritize getting them into the room. listening to the questions it’s hard to not assume that the minister @samgeorgegh and @NITAGhana board ensured that they were flanked by sycophants, or at least people asking the most irrelevant questions. tough!
@koboateng@nyankahmensah@gemini_dna@samgeorgegh And they never made it public. So they have it but refuse to share? and we should trust them till they approve it. what kind of"I'm helping you but you have to follow my rules whether you agree or not" situation is this?
@koboateng@gemini_dna@samgeorgegh I think we should take notes, at the end of the day, we will reconstruct the zero draft bill and send it to them just like they are presenting it on the space.
Cos at this point it looks like they are having issues communicating
