While we continue fighting for "Freedom of Speech" to be Respected, let's be decorous in our outburst especially on radio, TV & Online as well as encourage victims to go to court when defamed.

Ghana has come a long way especially with regards to the media practice and we don’t need any form of gaging lest ...
