The Concern Women Ghana (CWG) once Asempa FM's Nana Akua Acheampomaa Sarfo-Adu over her "unwarranted attack" on former president John Mahama. 

After jumping to defence of two famale journalist, the CWG for the first time has found itself in a situation that it has to condemn one of its own.

In a statement on Wednesday, the gender Advocacy group expressed its disappointment after the journalist exhibited a "high level  of unprofessionalism" on air.

It has called on her employers, The Multimedia to crack the whip, saying the "this journalist deserves ZERO airtime on that radio station and a corner bench to watch and learn from her seniors"

She is reported to have used unprintable words on the former president after he led a section of his security detail to clear overgrown weeds in the middle belt of the 'Mahama' Road in front of the new Military Cemetery in Accra, over the weekend.

Her action triggered a protest from some NDC women who matched to the premises of  Multimedia on Tuesday, demanding an apology from the lady "within 48 hours" which her employer has done.

But the CWG, which has issued three statement in a spate of five days, is calling for a long lasting respect from both men and women in the country.

"Multimedia may have apologised!
Ex President Dramani Mahama may have forgiven!
The NDC may have been calmed!
But the worrying question is 'How much longer?'," The CWG asked in a statement.

The group believes Nana Akua's  action betrays the call for respect for  women in the country, treating it "with distain".

"CWG register dissatisfaction with the current turn of events as a female journalist decided to play the bully at a time we as Women group came to the defense of two female journalists who were subjected to unsavory attacks by two gentlemen known in the public eye," convenor Annette Enyo said in a statement.

"Her approach was unethical, wrong in principle, problem solving mismatch, illogical and super contradictory."

CONCERNED WOMEN, GHANA (CWG)

PRESS STATEMENT

13th November, 2019

HIGHEST LEVEL OF UNPROFESSIONALSM EXHIBITED BY A JOURNALIST AND A FEMALE ONE FOR THAT MATTER
-------------------------------------------------------------

Multimedia may have apologised!
Ex President Dramani Mahama may have forgiven!
The NDC may have been calmed!
But the worrying question is "How much longer?"

How much longer are we going to entertain such high level of disrespect for one another?
How much longer should we accept usage of abusive language on each other followed by an apology?
How much longer should people be hailed for showing gross disrespect?

CWG register dissatisfaction with the current turn of events as a female journalist decided to play the bully at a time we as Women group came to the defense of two female journalists who were subjected to unsavory attacks by two gentlemen known in the public eye.

We treat it with distain, the unwarranted attack on Former President John Mahama by the female journalist, Nana Akua Acheampongmaa Sarfo-Adu of Asempa FM who could not find more pressing issues to discuss on her programme Kanewu but chose to wrestle her thoughts over former president Mahama's decision to weed a bush in his vicinity.

Nana Akua Acheampongmaa Sarfo-Adu's strong abusive language sends an inconceivable question running the minds of Ghanaians and her posture and put-down attitude reflect poorly on her character as a journalist.

Her approach was unethical, wrong in principle, problem solving mismatch, illogical and super contradictory.

Multimedia is a big name, they should and must ensure unprofessionals do not dilute the successes they have chalked over the years.

Asempa FM should not end the story with just an apology. This journalist deserves ZERO airtime on that radio station and a corner bench to watch and learn from her seniors.

We commend Multimedia for the timely intervention and we salute the former president for showing maturity in his response to the apology rendered him.

It had gotten to that point where one must damn the consequences and attack indecency.

God bless us all!!!

Ciao!!
