Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and Member of Parliament for the Awutu Senya East Constituency, Hawa Koomson, has announced her intention to have a discussion with the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) leadership.

The aim is to address any misunderstandings and establish a positive relationship between the Ministry and the media.

This decision comes after the GJA called for a media blackout on all activities involving the Minister. The blackout was in response to the assault of a journalist from Cape Coast, allegedly by individuals connected to the Minister, during the NPP’s parliamentary aspirants’ vetting in Cape Coast.

In a statement from her office, Ms. Koomson expressed her deep concern about the GJA’s decision to blacklist her. She made it clear that she strongly condemns the reported incident. She and her associates deny all accusations leveled against them.

The statement acknowledged the significant role of the media in Ghana’s democracy. It emphasized Ms. Koomson’s commitment to creating a safe and secure environment for journalists to carry out their duties.

The Minister urged the GJA leadership to reconsider their decision to blacklist her, highlighting the absence of evidence linking her to the assault. She expressed her confidence in the ongoing investigation by the Ghana Police Service to apprehend the alleged attacker.
