Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni is concerned about the safety of journalists in Ghana and the lack of political will to enforce laws that protect them from abuse.
According to him, all around the world, journalists are subjected to criticism, however, the difference is that political leaders try to ensure that journalists are protected from abuse.
“Journalists would always come under attack everywhere in the world. What we should be asking for or demanding is that those threats those attacks should never go unpunished.
"Once you allow these things to go unpunished then you are unencouraging those who attack or threaten journalists,” he said whilst contributing to JoyNews' Defend Media Freedom on August 29.
