Former New Patriotic Party Constituency Chairman for Afigya Kwabre South, Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, has admonished female journalists to use their media platforms to promote peace and unity.
He noted that conflict in any part of the country is bound to have rippling effect in other parts of the country and even beyond.
He, therefore, called on female journalists as peace ambassadors to work hard to promote peace and unity among Ghanaians.
Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, affectionately called COKA, gave the admonition during his maiden interaction with some selected female Show Hosts, Producers, Reporters and Editors in the Ashanti region last Saturday August 30, 2025.
The former party executive emphasised that in spite of the role female journalists play in the media landscape to complement their male counterparts, political figures often rely on interacting with their male colleagues and thus relegate them ( female journalists) to the background.
COKA reiterated the significant role of women in development hence his deliberate effort in increasing women in appointed positions during his term as Constituency Chairman.
He noted that such meetings with the female practitioners of the Journalism profession would motivate them. It would also convince them that their work in the media industry had been appreciated.
Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah encouraged female journalists who are not registered members of the Ghana Journalists Association to register as soon as possible.
He noted that joining professional groups was necessary in shaping their chosen careers.
