My attention has been drawn to a statement by the Media Foundation for West Africa, published on Ghanaweb, that the New Patriotic Party leads with indecent expressions on radio. This they claim is from a so called Language Monitoring Report. I believe this statement is not really backed by the facts and seeks to create a wrong impression and portray the party as being always reckless, a situation which is not a true reflection of the image and posture of the party.
For sometime now, the Media Foundation for West Africa seem to always find the NPP leading indecent expressions on radio. One would think that at least, individual members or the party or its communicators or representatives are mentioned so that the party leadership at least can take some corrective steps as part of constructive feedback .To generalise the whole party has indulging in indecent expressions is unfair and unjust.

We would like to know the mandate of this foundation. A foundation led by individuals and personalities who are aligned to the left of Ghanaian and African politics cannot convince me they are acting in good faith. I would like to be proved wrong on this assertion.
I would like to believe that the NPP, because it is a party of peaceful men and women has become the trojan horse for some organisation seeking to apply for funds from international organisations so it could exist by writing all kinds of things against it. Let my cup be empty on this!
The Media Foundation for West Africa must not try to usurp the role and functions of the National Media Commission .NPP is ready to work constructively with any organisation that believes in freedom of expression and its improvement in our body politic but it cannot become anybody’s punching bag to satisfy some individual or special interest group.
