Veep’s Speech On Sale
It may sound shocking but it really happened. The speech read by Vice President John Dramani Mahama at this year’s May Day Parade was sold to journalists at the Independence Square yesterday. Daily Graphic’s Timothy Gobah, who reports from the Presidency, is the journalist who kept copies of the Vice President’s speech, claiming he personally made photocopies of the speech from a nearby hotel at the cost of GH¢30 and would therefore charge journalists GH¢5 for a copy. As if joking, Mr. Gobah denied all reporters at the parade grounds copies of the Vice President’s speech apart from two female reporters from TV 3 and Informer newspaper to whom he sold the speech at GH¢5 and GH¢1 respectively. He then left the grounds with the rest of the copies of the speech. By William Yaw Owusu source: Daily Guide
