Shameless press people, that is why you could not ask good questions , you sold you integrity for a useless man. Berla M Rejected the money . I respect her for that
People won't see anything wrong because Crime has become normal. From who's pocket is that money? Oh Ghana....what went so wrong?
Exactly. Totally desensitized!
This is what this government of unprincipled and nauseating vagabonds are doing with our money. The corrupt and compromised media are also beautifully acquiesing. We simply elected a bunch of thieves and hyenas and seasoned a ...

Yaaaah here he is that VAGABOND from Togoland,a foreigner call FRANKIE who don't regard Ghana as his homeland but is prepared to pay allegiance to NDC.Propaganda cannot save NDC in Dec 2024.
I NOW UNDERSTAND THE CLAPPING... THE HARDER YOU CLAP,,, THE MORE MONEY,,, AWWW, NPP & CORRUPTION IS LIKE WEE & BOB MARLEY
@Kay you sound incoherent.
@Kay sound incoherent cuz he has refused to attend the free shs to upgrade himself. We pay taxes everyday for the development of this nation and this is how they mismanage our funds. SAD!
So you mean buying journalist will save npp and the Google Bawuliar, never .
Buy your catfish Juveniles from us with as little as 2 cedis per fish to start your business and also get free guidance and training to help you succeed. 0557430128_~#*•
Kay you and your cohorts of npp thieves won't survive the tides of change Ghanaians are calling for. After this change over your npp akyem cabal would desipate and disappear.
All these guys need to be jailed come 2025
Huge fun of the NPP but if this is what happened although I’m sure the NDC gives money to the press , then the practice is shameful
NDC never give money to press. Stop lying
Amina, you are right. I was asking has all these journalist from kindergarten?. Now we know the answer. As it is now every aspect of the Ghanaian society is a crime scene under Akuffo Addo.
NDC will always create their own questions, provide their own answers and start their own debate that will suit their questions and answers. Mention the names of the journalists who received GHS10,000 for the function.
Your tells you don't understand your self big fool
Yes oh . What a country called Ghana
No wonder all the NPP boys have become rich overnight. Imagine some journalist receiving these huge sums of money after attending just one event. Then those who are close to power will be swimming in money every day
NDC has started what they did iin 2008 election but unfortunately it will never repeat itself again in Dec 2024 election.The NPP is intelligent enough to guard against that propaganda by Fiifi Kwettey in 2008.
Kwaku oluwaaa........ Kwashia buuluu. Your country is slipping from your hands and you're here grinning and clapping for these thieves and hyenas masquerading as politicians.
@ FRANKIE

Kwaku Tee, don't mind Frankie. Just go and take your medication and relax.
That is the reason they want their land, Western Togoland, and you are afraid to loose them. Give them that option to go and you will see the down fall of your Ghana.

@kweku tee, you will suffer paaaaa with your generations and those after you for not seeing the sense in people’s grievances over the mismanagement of our taxes.
Another fool and corrupt NDC member
FRANKIE.. ibi you who be kwashia buulu buulu. So should not journalists be paid. You think 2000, 3000 and 10,000 cedis is too much for their nature of work.
@ zinc. Don't the journalists come from media houses ? Don't their media houses pay them ?
You are a fool. To think this politicians are of good to you selfish idiots
I miss UK amabassador Jon

@Agbo. Do you believe this nonsense? Let whoever wrote this garbage name one of the journalist. These stupid propaganda will not wash thus time around d.
Of course there is truth in there. Why would Miracles Aboa come out to defend the amount given?
Ghana is rotten to the core. It's quite unfortunate and disgusting. Why give them money in the first place? For them to package your message? The chickens are stubborn and won't stay. They are out and kicking and singing.

Anonymous allegations are not accepted in any court of jurisdiction,. Fake story to the highest. Bawuima's brains is bugger than the entire members brains added together. No question can shake him.
Who's going to court? The judgment is on the 7th December 2024. Ghanaians will be the judge but not the Supreme Court of the nation.
Thieves, shameless journalists God punish you all
Everybody in Ghana is a THIEF with the Exception of John Dramani Mahama.
Why do you call them shameless? So are they not to be paid for their jobs.? Do you know how much it cost to invite a journalist to interview Donald Trump ?
Cry! Ghana! Cry Freedom!
Ghana money for you
If John Mahama could explain his 24hrs economy and reason behind legalisation of Okada all these bribe payments won't count in Dec 2024.The problem is NDC hasn't got a marketable product.
I agree with you 100%
They re just not smart about how to sell their drug for it to become addictive………
@The truth, every functioning brain understands the 24hr economy but brain dead people who supports corrupt NPP even when it is evidently clear that they have ruined this nation will never understand.
Times are hard and rough !!! The journalists took the money oooo!!!10,000 and it’s a shame Miracles is trying to lie
A nation that loses its conscience is done for! After 40 years of service in GES I was given a little less than 40,000 cedis from their tier something (shame on Kuffour's NPP). 40 years of service, O. But they can pay these m ...

If the so-called Factcheck people are not prepared to name names, don't shouldn't disturb our ears.
Cash from the bedroom. You were supposed to take Dollars. Ask npp for more if there are to pay in Ghana cedis.
Dishonest
Ghc2,200,000 in total if all has taken Ghc10,000
Ghanaians are dumb. Everyone is quiet here. Foolish journalist selling their right to good life and that of their children and the unborn.
Stolen money to corrupt the gullible traitors of the country is evil and must never ...

Only Media engagement cost GHC 2,2000,000 ? What is Bawumia monthly salary? Using money to buy the media? Waaw!!! The vice president Ghana never got part2.
So Bawumia tried to buy the conscience of the journalists. Corrupt Bawumia.
God save Ghana from this regime
keep sharing the loot
My conclusion is that, anyone who votes for this current government doesn't love Ghana. Use of stolen and galamsey money to win vote is the strategy.
I have made the decision to do every thing possible for my children to be ...

Even if Bawumia give each journalist GHC1M and he will lose it will happen.The so called journalists cannot change any opinion on Bawumia.NPP work on the ground will win them Dec 2024.Ignore NDC PROPAGANDA.
@Ruthan, so you are trying to justify the act of bribery?? If you trust your work on the ground,why give bribes?? Senseless fool.
BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION IN NPP GOVERNMENT IS TOO MUCH. THEY WANT TO BRIBE THE INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE TO SILENT THE HARDSHIP GHANAIANS ARE GOING THROUGH IN THE COUNTRY
Flight ticket n hotel plus 10k=20k

Asantefuor are the problems in this country. They have allowed those Akyem mafias to manipulate them over the years.
That is why there were no serious probing questions on accounting for last 7 years of a mess riddled with corruption and endless sole sourcing
For any country to have good governance, their journalists and the judiciary must be clean.
I now believe Captain Smart. If he hadn't come out with a speculative amount like we wouldn't have known if you criminal journalists were given such a huge amount for that brief period.

What's is the name of the Journalist that received the money
And in all this you couldn't mention the names of single journalists to support this report? How do you expect us to believe this story. Mention one journalist and let him come out to confirm or deny.
What is thenews about this publication? In what way does it contribute to solve the nation’s problems at stake?
Praises to Ms. Bella Mundi. As for Miracles, he needs help - always scheming to deceive the public.
Lies lies and lies can you mention only one journalist who said he took such an amount. This will not win you elections Ndc must get that clear

Waww. Let us even forget the Ghc10,000 gift and limit it to Ghc5,000 per journalist multiplied by 220, which amounts to GHC,1.1 million.
No wonder the economy is where it is.
Though you haven't got the seat yet, look at what you've started with, bribery, corruption and wasting of looted State money. Is this the way to spend hard earned money. You will pay the price before you flatlined.
So whether it was 20000 or 10000 wat was dat for??? How can dey pay for ur accommodation and flight and still give dat much?? Ghana JILORS Association (GJA) KRONFO} asifo}
So you use tax payers money anyhow and we Ghanaians will continue to sing their praises
So every institution in this country has been bastadized by Akuffo Addo Bawumia administration to the point our once respected Ghanaian Media is now scrambling for a bribe of ghc 10 000 like chickens scrambling for maize.THIS ...

Even if at that, can it be compared to the cars JDM bought for the slay queens during his time? How much did Maha pay for his press encounter?
Fools why can't you mention the journalist names here. You people are just throwing lies, just mention one journalist. You think we are fools to believe you and vote for your incompetent Mahama and useless NDC
Dr. Bawumia is such a useless, senseless, shameless, clueless, reckless, gormless, lawless, stupid, corrupt, foolish, deceitful and careless fool.
Berla Mundi, you won my heart. I salute you. Very principled journalist. May God reward you.
Korlebu kidney center is closed for lack of funds. Look what they are doing with the money. Wretched journalists sure they fought over the money again.
So where does this fuuullll get these monies from? Eii NPP with unimaginably wicked act. Bawumia you're wasting your time, you think president is for jokers?
Hmmmmm
This was a VERY GENEROUS DISTRIBUTION OF CASH Waaooo!. So some of the journalists have joined the CORRUPTION TRAIN? GHc2, 000 is the take home pay for some workers in Ghana. A journalist to receive this amount of money at a ...

This is how taxpyers money is risklessly expended. Shame on npp
For that miracle boy,the least said about him the better. I rest my case
No compliance of ethics, Ghanaians are easily compromised because some greater have lost integrity and right values which promotes greater societal growth and success
Independence and Objectivity: One of the core principles of journalism is independence. If journalists are paid by the government to cover state meetings, it could compromise their objectivity and lead to biased reporting1.
