Communications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has defended the actions of Cecilia Dapaah, Sanitation Minister who refused to grant an interview to an intern of Accra based Adom FM.
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful believes the behaviour of the intern is suggestive of the ‘chronic disrespect for political office holders in Ghana.’
On Monday, Adom FM reported on how the Sanitation Minister dismissed, Rahinatu Abdul Bach’s request for an interview because she felt disrespected an intern had called to interview her.
‘Who gave you the permission to call me to speak to me directly like that? You don’t respect…please go off’ Cecilia Dapaah is reported to have said.
However, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful is of the strong conviction that the Sanitation Minister was right in demanding that a relatively senior and more experienced journalist ought to be the one requesting for the said interview.
