Change Your Attitude Towards us-Journalist tells Greedy Politicians

Efya Broni is the Best Female Akan News caster(A/R)

A 2018/19 foklex media awards, Ashanti regional best female akan news caster Nana Efya Broni has lambasted politicians in the country for only remembering journalists when they need.

She explain that, most of our politicians remember journalists when its time for elections or vouching for a position, some of them will call you on phone pleading with you to interview them on radio and other platforms, sometimes they even send you questions you the journalist should ask him or her.

She indicated that the bitter part of it is that immediately they win the elections or the position they were campaigning for they stop responding to your calls when you need them for an interview.

Nana Efya Broni cited an example of her colleague news caster Abusua Panin Owusu Aduomi who always interviews Hannah Bisiw when she was campaigning to become the National women's organizer of the National Democratic Congress(NDC),but ever since she won that position, she never picks his calls anymore not to talk of getting the chance to interview her again.

There was an issue recently about some Ghanaians who were being tormented in Saudi Arabia which I needed to speak with the authorities to find out what our foreign affairs ministry is doing about it, but nobody responded to my calls till date..."she noted".
