Does the presidency compensate accidents victims? It is the auto insurance companies that pay compensation not the government. Even if the car was owned by the government, it is still the car insurance company that pays the victims. Ghanaian journalists need to do investigation before publishing stories. Do not publish hear say stories.

I call on all pilgrims to pray for the removal of Mahama, the corrupt and incompetent Mills surplus eater. Ghanaians have been struggling with him and the NDC electoral thieves since 2012 and our pilgrims should pray at Markka for their removal. Under his stewardship there has been massive corruption by office holders, the nation is highly in debt despite the unprecedented revenue and new oil money and the population is suffering similar to that of "Rawlings Chain" in the 80s.

I really don't understand what the journalist are asking for. If the care is insured they have to pay compensation and not the tax payer through govt. The van hired by the journalist was not insured by the govt and it is the owner of the van to make available the insurance details of the van and not the presidency. If we want to raise the bar, let us start from now.

The Presidency should stay out of peoples lives, it creates weakness and dependency. Tell the accident victims to contact their auto insurance companies.

To be compensated for what? Why should the government compensate them? Are they not insured? Why is it that in Ghana every thing rest on the government. Most people do not pay taxes to enable the government to carry out its work. Yet when the government borrow money to pay its way people will complain.

Who cares about Accident Journalists? The Nation’s resources are reserved for only foot sojas,Political and Family friends. That is why GHANA needs an incorruptible leader to save the situation. Nana Beba.

It's absolutely rubbish for these village journalists, who are found of puting out any stupid publications. This kind of behaviour is rather boosting the fortunes of the humble president.(JDM)

Government does not take responsibility for individual news networks obligations. Goverment can only sympathize and show their grief to the respective victims, that can be expressed in different ways. But to compensate is wrong. The journalists are not employees of the Government but to private enterprise who have the sole responsibility to compensate the family of the victims. They work for the news companies not for the Government.
