The Hon. Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources Hon. Cecilia Abena Dapaah on Wednesday July 24, received in her office, a delegation from the Multimedia Group led by Mr. A.C Ohene, the senior editor of Adom FM to formally render their profound apology to the Hon. Minister following a recent Adom FM publication which attracted a lot of negative publicity for the Hon. Minister.
Mr. A.C. Ohene stated that the incident was quite unfortunate and an error on the part of Multimedia and Adom FM and wish to assure the Hon. Minister that utmost diligence and care would be observed to forestall any such occurrences in future.
The Acting Chief Director, Mr. Joseph Obeng-Poku, explained that at the time that the Minister received the call, he was with the Hon Minister in a meeting and that the Minister sounded cool and collected. He expressed surprise that it would be reported that the Minister allegedly showed disrespect. This issue according to the Acting Chief Director was not about the lady being an intern, but rather about the due protocols being followed.
The Honorable Minister for her part accepted the apology in good faith and indicated her preparedness to continue to work with Journalists for the good of mother Ghana.
The Senior Editor, Mr. A. C. Ohene reiterated that the Multimedia Group has learnt a lot of lessons from the unfortunate incident and would work hard to ensure a strict adherence to their time tested protocols. He indicated that an apology had already been placed on their websites, Adom FM online and Joy FM online.
The intern, Miss Rahinatu Abdul Bach indicated her admiration for the Hon Minister and considers her as her role model and therefore regrets the incident, and accordingly rendered an unqualified apology to the Honorable Minister who in return offered madam Rahinatu a box of chocolate.
The multi media delegation included; Mr. A.C. Ohene, Senior Editor, Mr. Nii Dowuona News editor and Rahinatu Abdul Bach, an intern.

I love this kumbaya, no hate now. Insignificant news, y'all wasting your precious time on political correctness and who is right and who is wrong. The minister had the right to be herself, if she was having a bad day so long as she did not disrespect the young lady. Courtesy helps on both sides. No apologies needed. Let's all be respectful of each other. Stay blessed
Hmmmmm Ghana?????
Adom FC should stop politics that has engulfed the multi-media. Please try to be fair on your reportages. Manasseh and the rest should stop their tribal journalism. But I am happy with Madam Dapaah accepted the apology and even offered chocolate.
Multimedia is gradually becoming NOTORIOUS for BAD journalism standards! Look at the SHAMEFUL behavior of Manasseh Azureh! SHAMEFUL journalist with BAD reportage! The whole world has seen him and what he wants to do. LOOSING CREDIBILITY!
Truly she always talks or chart with you like you are one of her colleagues, despite she never meet or see you before. If I am lying, just try and chart or meet her one day and see, and if you are a man and you don't control yourself you would feel like proposing love to her thinking that she is a young lady. But demon is a liar wanted to ruin her for such unfortunate issue.
The reason why the victim is rather apologizing is the minister madam Hon. Cecilia Abena Dapaah is nice woman and humble woman among all the women I have ever seen in politics. Do you know why? look if you ever meet her on her facebook, she never mind to chat with you, despite the fact that she never meet you before. So it is unfortunate that such issue happened, and we have to blame the demon or the devil for it. If I am lying just go to her facebook and say hi to her, she would response and ask you who is it?
the victim is rather apologising? ei
arrogance at its height!!! I always say this: I don't want NDC to come to power at leat in 2020, but NPP is running too faster than Usain Bolt towards opposition. You have arrogantly discriminate against that young girl, you couldn't apologize and yet you're happy to accept apology from her. could you have done this if you were in opposition?
Ghana's troubles summed up ...thin-skinned people who obviously take themselves too seriously in positions of authority.... The troubles of our slave past still haunt us.leaders act as gods and citizens obey as slaves would..
its good he mentioned that the issue was about not following the right protocols as opposed to an intern interviewing a minister,the wrong doing is not informing the minister the call is been recorded
