Former President, John Dramani Mahama, has broken his silence as the National Democratic Congressman celebrates its birthday today. Whiles giving his message as one of the leaders, Mahama spoke a little about what is going on in the country. He focused on the culture of silence that is swallowing the country. He further spoke about how the government is infringing on the rights and freedoms of Ghanaians to speak out their views freely.
“The NDC knows that a media cowed into silence and an intimidated citizenry do not constitute the appropriate resource for sustainable progress and national development. We believe, therefore that the ability of citizens to express themselves freely is a right and not a privilege. This administration must learn to tolerate criticisms and enhance free speech whilst protecting journalist from harm.”
He therefore told the government to learn how to tolerate criticisms and promote free speech. As well as doing everything in their power to protect Ghanaian journalists.
