Military decries deceptive news
reporting
Accra, July 22, Ghanadot/GNA- The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF)
has decried the falsehood peddled recently by some
Accra-based radio stations on the retirement and
appointments of Commanders and promotions of others, calling
on stations to desist from deceiving the public.
“The Military High Command wishes to state that there is no
truth in the news report being speculated and propagated by
these radio stations”.
“We wish to state categorically that the news reports are
totally false and embarrassing to the Ghana Armed Forces.
The stations should desist from feeding the public with
falsehood,” said a statement issued in Accra on Tuesday by
the Directorate of Public Relations of the GAF.
The statement said some radio stations had been reporting of
an imaginary retirement of the Chiefs of the Army Staff and
the Navy Staff and the appointment of the General Officer
Commanding (GOC), Southern Command and the Director, Army
Peacekeeping Operations as the new Chief of Army Staff and
the GOC Southern Command respectively.
It said there were appropriate procedures and channels
through which promotions and appointments in the Armed
Forces were made and advised the media to cross check their
facts and ensure the credibility of sources before going
public.
