I am so glad to see this and this proves to me that Ghanaian journalists are just making noise without doing any profitable work to help their country. The only thing they know is to collect money from John Dramani Mahama the odwanfunu president.

JDM is trying to tell you guys that he looks down upon you because you are all animals. Gyimi na mogyimi wo Ghana!

We're your journalists forced to climb the ladder at a gun-point? Your stomach, lazy and money seeking journalists are doing this to themselves. Glad, they were treated that way.

It is not the responsibility of the Ghanaian Government to transport reporters to and from public events they cover..

GIBA should have known better.

YOU MEAN GHANA JOURNALISTS WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREE AND IF THEY ARE SENT TO COVER THE PARADE IN A TIPPER TRUCK, IT SERVES THEM RIGHT. THE GHANA REPORTERS MEAN THEY CANNOT ARRANGE THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION TO THE GROUNGS? WHY DO YOU COLLECT FEES FOR? ARE YOU CHILDREN WHO CANNOT ASK WHY THEY ARE BEING SENT IN A TIPPER TRUCK. HAS GHANA DECENDED SO DISGRACEFULLY, NOT BEING ABLE TO CHARTER A DECENT BUS TO THE SQUARE? YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVE. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP. GHANA IS SINKING. PRESIDENT MOGABI RIGHTLY SAID "LOOK AT THEM" BECAUSE HE KNEW WHAT IS GOING ON IN GHANA. YOU MEAN THE JOURNALIST ASSOCIATION IS BLIND NOT TO SAY THEY DO NOT DESERVE SUCH A TREATMENT?

You register ur protest by not jumping on the truck but u do not jump on the truck and later decide to post pictures. If this action involved death you guys would have died. Common sense

these people can get on nerves at times. You bring them to a place to cover an event only to cover something unrelated to the event. Next time give them the market kaya, kaya truck!!!

Where in the world do, 'for-pay journalists' get a free ride? For once Mahama has done a good job. Let 'em ride cycles the next time. Their corrupted pens and tablets deserve a tipper truck shake down to edit all their blind and one sided phony articles. The ladder should have been made short for them to high jump into those garbage trucks. They thought Mahama loves them, now they see the other side of him when you piss him off. Do they see now how bad the economy is? They sing the blues for the NDC government all the time just for that free chinchinga after an event. Now we all are gonna eat kobi dressed as kakpo.

For what reason(s) are the journalists who were packed into a TIPPER TRUCK complaining about. In the first place, they were not forced into the truck. Secondly, they hopped into the tipper truck at their own volition, for that reason, it makes no sense whatsoever for GIBA to get angry about the incident.
What GIBA I think, should fight for is 'Freedom of the Press' and the right to have access to public domain information. If GIBA considers the predicament/incident as degrading to the prestige usually associated with the profession, the journalists have themselves to blame for their ignorance of professional pride because if they did have some pride in themselves and their profession, there was no reason for them to hop into the tipper truck.

Am surprised at these comments... What prevented the journalists or media houses from coming up with ideas about how to position themselves on that day to do their work... All you needed to do was to come up with something that will help you and go for accreditation I don't think you would have been refused. Please let's do something to help ourselves and stop blaming governments. If you care to know party B won't treat you like a king from party A if we don't help ourselves... Sorry journalists or media houses this is over the bar
