Create level ground for aspiring
candidates - Media urged
Agona Swedru, Feb. 22, GNA - Mr. Derrrick Owusu Ambrose,
Pharmacist of the Agona Swedru District hospital, has
advised the media to create a level-playing field for the
aspiring NPP candidates to be the flag-bearer for the 2008
presidential election.
The media should desist from "throwing mud" at some of the
candidates in favour of those they regarded as their
friends.
Speaking to the GNA at Agona Swedru, Mr. Ambrose who is also
a member of Assin South District Assembly said the media
should not confuse the electorate who relied on them to make
informed decisions.
"Throwing your weight behind some of the candidates to
campaign against others would not help to get a trustworthy
flag bearer and a possible President for the nation," he
said.
Mr. Ambrose reminded the media that the election of a flag
bearer for a party was an exercise, which could make or
destroy the nation and said the candidates should be given
equal treatment.
He suggested to the newspapers to come out with the
curriculum vitae of the candidates to help the electorate to
take good decisions.
"When reporting on activities of the candidates write
exactly what takes place or what exactly was said. Do not
add or subtract anything to it," the Assembly Member said.
"The future of the nation is at stake do not let personal
gain becloud your sense of judgement" he stated.
"Refrain from attempts to destroy aspiring flag bearers,"
Mr. Ambrose advised the media.
