The Minister in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has underscored the importance of stronger collaboration between the media and security services.
The Minister and lawmaker posted that the relationship between the media and security agencies must be built on mutual trust, respect, and a shared commitment to national progress.
He made the remarks while speaking at the 29th Ghana Journalists Association (GJA)/KGL Media Awards on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
According to him, interactions between journalists and security agencies should never be defined by suspicion or rivalry but by partnership and purpose.
In his view, the two institutions are both “guardians of the national vision”.
He therefore believes the collective efforts of these institutions are crucial to safeguarding Ghana’s democracy.
Meanwhile, he has reiterated the commitment of the government to creating an environment where journalists can work without fear or favour.
“We shall continue to build a society where journalists can work without fear or favour, where truth can flourish without suppression, and where constructive criticism is met with dialogue, not hostility,” he stated.
He added that Ghana will remain a beacon of press freedom on the African continent.
“Let us therefore leave here today with renewed determination to build bridges across the media and the state, to strengthen the bond between journalists and the security services, and to advance together as partners for peace and progress,” he noted.
