You guys should stop throwing dust into our eyes, there is a clear evidence and there were many witnesses around.
I wonder how this case will end up to in such a very bad state of our lawless country Ghana.

This is really sad, a government agency defending the bad behavior of its employees. Mr Laryeah, the NHIS manager of Ablekuma should be in jail right now and Sylvester Mensah, the CEO of NHIS should lose his job.

Whether the person who was wearing Africa print shirt is NHIS employee is immaterial.

First, it was Mr Laryeah, the Ablekuma branch manager who detained Nana Sefa(kidnapping) an Adom FM reporter and called Adom FM to send its Editor to his office before he Sefa would be released.

It was Mr Laryeah, the Ablekuna branch Manager that initially put his hands on Afia Pokuah, the vim lady before the other man came from the office to wrestle Afia Pokuah down.

Adom FM with it Multimedia group should civilly sue the NHIS, Sylvester Mensah and Mr Laryeah for millions of Ghana cedis. Government employees should not treat citizens and Journalists doing their job that primitively and then come and defend such a bad behavior.

Cardinal of justice really. Behind the doings of lapdogs is a big nonentity. The old order with which this programme started is collapsing under the weight of intransparency and unreliable gadgets. They only give vent of their emotion to any form of media intervention trying to expose such ills. We should therefore blame the government for not caring much about this posterity left for citizens by the previous government .

It behoves our leaders and particularly those who occupies public position to lead good examples: good moral values for the youth to emulate. What price do we pay blatant lies after all? We risk being burried deep down in a state of anarchy "you do me I do you"; a lawless state of course!!!

The current practice where newly inducted doctors called house officers with no experience whatsoever are left to experiment with (attend to) serious medical cases while residents, specialists and consultants are away must be put to a stop immediately. There must be at least one specialist present 24 hours in three shift rotations to supervise them. Our health system as it is presently is not the best. The situation in the countryside and rural communities is even worse.

Pls investigate this to the full and find out who did that and take action ASAP . Whosoever did that to her should be identify by the police. Multi media should take this serious.

Truth is like a cork, it cannot be pushed under water. Truth will always triumph over falsehood. Afia, take heart, Allah is in control. A tsunami is going to hit the NHIA, should any attempt be made to cover the truth.

Which truth are you expecting? Who is Afia Pokua at all? She thinks. she has the freedom to insult government officials. Likewise the insulted people also have the freedom to teach a lesson by using their hands.

So the public had access to NHIA premises to commit this mayhem and get away with it? We are not yet in a banana republic so the perpetrators of this heinous crime should be made to dance their own tunes. Today is the mayor( Vanderpuije)of this rotten city Accra, the Gyan brothers at the Baba Yara staduim and who knows who would fall victim tomorrow? The law should take it's stand.

WHAT DO THESE NDC TYPES TAKE GHANAIANS FOR? THE CEO LOOKED AT GHANAIANS IN THE FACE AND ON NATIONAL RADIO PRESENTED A PHOTO WITHOUT A HEAD AND FORCEFULLY SAID THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE MAN WHO ASSAULTED THE JOURNALISTS. IN ANY COUNTRY HE WILL BE SACKED IMMMEDIATELY. THE DEAL WITH HOLLOW AND UNINTELLIGENT FOOT SOLDIERS ALL DAY LOND EVERYDAY AND THEY FOOLISHLY THINK THAT ALL GHANAIANS THINK LIKE THEM. IF YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED A HEADLESS MAN AS THE CULPRIT WHY NOT CAUSE HIS ARREST. THE NHIS CEO IS JUST A FULL GROWN BUFFOON.

This stupid journalist Afia Pokua or whatever she calls herself thinks that she is untouchable. She is just hiding behind the microphone to insult decent Ghanaians all the time. Why is it that she one person if my memory serves me right has been beaten about three times or so? In fact she do not qualify to be a journalist and I can assure her that she would be beaten at all times if she do not change her crooked way of journalism.

Honestly speaking, do you like Afia Pokua`s kind of journalism? If Cindy even used the wrong grammar out of losing concentration, I still believed she is good in English language.

Thank you Berah the english master for your correction. In any case english language is not my mother tongue and even the englishmen themselves sometimes make mistakes. Be proud of your own language.

noproblem, i think the Journalsits association must go out boldly to inform the public of the rot in all institutions in Ghan and then they'll start to see them as national developers. also when they go, they must collect "soli" nor at any other function to which they are to cover.

People open their 'mouth by heart', this is what we get when junkies calling themselves are on rampage. Is multimedia saying they can't a photo of afia being beaten? This is madness and you guys are condemning.
