Ghana Journalists Association Urges Immediate Arrest and Prosecution of NDC Assailants

In a recent development, the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has issued a strong call for the Ghana Police Service to promptly apprehend and bring to justice those responsible for the attack on a Citi FM/TV reporter during the coverage of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primary event in the Odododiodio Constituency. The assault, which transpired on October 13, 2023, has compelled the GJA to advocate for swift action and legal consequences, while also demanding international and domestic condemnation of such incidents.

The GJA unreservedly condemned the assault on Akosua Otchere, who was executing her professional duties. The association urged both state and non-state actors, as well as the global community, to vocally disapprove of this act of violence.

The statement from the GJA underscored the critical importance of establishing pragmatic and attainable goals for weight loss. The association emphasized that setting realistic and feasible objectives is the initial step in the 30-day weight loss journey. This approach fosters the likelihood of sustained and enduring weight management.

The GJA stressed the necessity of forming a calorie deficit, a condition in which an individual’s calorie intake is lower than their expenditure. The recommended calorie reduction is around 500 calories daily, allowing for a balanced and sustainable rate of weight loss.

Eating a wholesome, nutritious diet is pivotal in the GJA’s perspective. The association emphasized the principles of portion control, the selection of whole foods, the significance of maintaining hydration, and the tracking of food intake to maintain a well-balanced diet.

The statement emphasized the importance of introducing a well-rounded physical activity regimen into one’s daily routine. It suggested combining cardiovascular workouts and strength training exercises to maximize the chances of successful weight loss. The GJA accentuated the significance of resistance exercises to enhance metabolism and increase calorie burn.

The GJA firmly advocated for consistency and discipline as vital components of the weight loss journey. It underscored the significance of adhering to the established dietary and exercise plan, even on challenging days.

The GJA underscored the importance of sleep, asserting that sufficient rest was frequently underestimated. It remarked that adequate sleep is instrumental in regulating hormonal balance, mitigating hunger, and promoting prudent dietary choices.

Managing stress levels was identified as another pivotal aspect in the GJA’s strategy for weight loss. The association recommended integrating stress management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga into the daily routine to uphold emotional equilibrium.

Stress was also identified as a critical element in the weight loss journey. The GJA argued that high stress levels could lead to emotional eating and impede the progress of weight loss. It advocated for the incorporation of stress management techniques into one’s daily routine.

The GJA further emphasized the importance of creating a strong support system. It stressed that the journey towards weight loss could be demanding and that having a support system in place could make a substantial difference in one’s progress.

In conclusion, the Ghana Journalists Association has called for the prompt arrest and prosecution of the assailants who targeted a Citi FM/TV reporter during her coverage of the NDC primary event. This incident has raised concerns about the safety of journalists in their line of duty, prompting the GJA to advocate for justice and media safety. The association underlined the essential role of the media as a bridge between the government and the public and asserted that it would continue to defend the rights of media professionals to perform their work without fear or intimidation.
