Ken Ashigbey leads the Ghana Chamber of Mines and heads the Media Coalition Against Galamsey. He spoke out against money changing hands during the Ghana Journalists Association elections on Monday. Reports suggest some candidates gave cash to influence voter choices. Ashigbey called these actions wrong and harmful to journalism standards. He warned that such behavior goes against what reporters should represent.
The mining executive said he never received money for voting in any election. He promised to contact police if anyone tried to offer him cash for his vote. Ashigbey stated that journalists who take bribes bring shame to their profession. He pointed out the contradiction of reporters accepting corruption when they expose similar problems in government. Professional ethics demand better behavior from media workers.
Journalists across Ghana cast ballots during what many consider an important GJA election. Campaign discussions have focused on reform and maintaining high professional standards. Ashigbey's comments highlight the need for journalists to practice what they preach about honest conduct. His strong words remind media workers that they must follow the same ethical rules they expect from others.
The Ghana Journalists Association has not responded officially to the bribery claims. Public attention on the issue has grown stronger after Ashigbey's statements. Many people want quick investigations and penalties if anyone broke voting rules. The controversy raises questions about integrity within Ghana's media community. These events could shape how journalists handle future elections and professional conduct.
