A disturbing revelation has emerged that some Ghanaian media CEOs received bribes to speak against former President John Dramani Mahama. This shocking claim has sparked considerable outrage and raised questions about the credibility of Ghana’s media environment.

According to internal sources, the alleged bribes were aimed at influencing the media narrative and public opinion against Mahama. According to the charges, certain media executives sacrificed their journalistic ethics and independence for financial gain.

The claims have sparked heated debate over the role of the media in Ghana’s democracy. Many people have expressed concern that the alleged bribery will damage the credibility of the media and diminish public trust.

Mahama’s supporters were quick to condemn the alleged activities, accusing the media outlets involved of engaging in “paid propaganda.” Others have demanded a full investigation into the charges, as well as accountability for those found guilty.

It is important to highlight that these charges have not yet been proven and the accused media outlets have not publicly responded to them. The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has also not commented on the situation.

As the dust settles, one thing is clear: the claims have called into question the independence and integrity of Ghana’s media. If true, the allegations highlight the importance of the media maintaining the highest ethical standards and being independent in the face of government pressure.
