Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the ruling NPP, has stated emphatically that he doesn’t believe in the works of investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
According to him, it is important to examine the journalist’s method for exposing his undercover reporting to the public.
In an interview with Accra-based Joy FM, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe remarked that Abdul Malik Kweku Baako’s protégé does not practice investigative journalism and does not meet the criteria to be referred to as an investigative journalist.
“I have made it clear that I personally don’t believe Anas. I don’t believe he is an investigative journalist. An investigative journalist does his works in such a way that all the points that he got are so important to him that no one ever hears about it,” he said.
He questions why Anas Aremeyaw Anas, after working on this documentary, then gives it out to the government first before airing it to the public.
“The first thing he should do is to release it to the public, in the public hall or something.
“But here we have a situation where this particular investigative journalist when he comes out with something, makes sure it’s seen by the leaders of the country before it gets to the public.
“His last investigative work, the names of the President and the Vice President came in. What has happened? We should stop the sort of thinking that the people of this country are fools”, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe stressed.
