Sacking media from court ‘indiscreet, affront to freedom’ - Affail Monney

Mr Roland Affail Monney, President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has condemned the Magistrate at the Accra Central District Court, Her Worship Arit Nsemoh for sacking journalists from her court.

According to Mr Monney, “the GJA considers this action- indiscreet, reprehensible and an affront to media freedom.”

Mr Monney’s posture in a statement signed and issued by him on Sunday is slightly different from what he portrayed last Thursday evening and Friday morning, when he spoke in separate radio interviews on Class FM and Neat FM respectively.

According to him, the account given by the Magistrate to the GJA, “was sharply contradicted by the reporters who quoted the Magistrate as saying 'I don't want any journalist in my court."
