Rev.Emmanuel Badu Amoah
Executive Secretary Ashanti region
Peace Council said that looking at a work of peace is a deliberate action that you take not looking at what other people are doing when to the media fraternity. When someone has another interview with a station and the other person doesn’t hear what happened it will lead to a call leader having you hear what someone saying about you, without mood what the person was saying will not be palatable because of anger and these things as a profession you need to manage such manner you must tell the person to prepare so that you can interview him or her gsheo his office for the data but the moment you asked him from your program what will come out of his mouth as Africans we are communal people.
If you do something against people you have done against his family that conflict will always be there so you keep on postponing conflict and some of this incitement increases the kind of tension among others. So you will see someone’s brother, sister, church member, father, mother all these things are very important I was trying to explain that media looking at this garb as a misunderstanding communication need to just check those well and not all these should be sent out there for people to hear because at the end of the day is not for the people consumption because it that not bring anything in the national all that I was emphasizing that the camera, the opportunity, the microphone it’s must inform people in the way that it will unite us.
He adds that temperate speech and intemperate looking at the content is insight from one person against the other. Ethnicities is not a problem but how somebody will embrace himself to try to make others feel bad which makes it a challenge.
When another communication is done the same way something that someone will say but someone else will not be angry but the other person can hear and get angry with intemperate words not even only does the language come with lies and can’t be justified with facts they will boldly speak about that and make a statement general effect the general public all of the things as well talk about peace counsel with the UNB had a book on its speech on that we talk about the usual foundation of this issue talking from the facts and universe declaration human rights there are so many laws as stated that we talk about that these things are already criminal and when you are doing something like this you know this thing you are saying it not true. We want to build a nation that will move forward with the future.
Therefore my challenge is that politicians own the media and they ve their way that they try to use the media to satisfy their interests. I think any message that comes from them should be a message that will help to develop the country because when looking at all the political parties they have been in an office before and we have seen their work so if you stand somewhere and insult others if stand somewhere and you don’t agree with someone that will not bring unity to this country because with their management it’s had not done anything to the country and we are still complaining since we had the independence up today so talk about what you can do for the nation. Don’t insult each other such as church, institution, and others If you insult institutions when you come into power that will be the same situation you are going to use. So we should respect ourselves as a nation.
