Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has sent a congratulatory message to His Excellency, Kabral Blay-Amihere, on both his membership of the National Media Commission (NMC) and his subsequent election as the chairman of the Commission.
In a statement, the 2008 presidential candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) noted that Kabral’s rich experience in the Ghanaian media was most needed at this crucial period of the country’s socio-economic problems and believed Kabral has what it takes to forge a good partnership with the press to help find solutions to the myriad of problems confronting the country.
Dr. Nduom believed as Kabral showed during his practicing days as a journalist, the former diplomat was the person with the right temperament at this period of this country’s history to push the media from its current disposition to the level that would be accepted by majority of Ghanaians.
As an old student of St. Augustine’s Secondary School, Dr. Nduom was elated that members of the Media Commission saw in his schoolmate, special qualities that were so convincing that they did not hesitate to elect Kabral as the chairman of the Commission.
“It clearly shows how good products are produced from St. Augustine’s and I hope Kabral will succeed just as he did when he brought many innovative ideas into the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) and the West African Journalists Association when he served as president of the two associations,” Dr. Nduom stated.
Until recently, Mr. Blay-Amihere was Ghana’s Ambassador to La Cote D’Ivoire after serving as the country’s High Commissioner to Sierra Leone during the first administration of former President Kufuor.
Kabral has a rich media experience, spanning well over thirty years. He was one of the very few journalists who defied the period of culture of silence during the PNDC era to establish a private newspaper-The Independent in 1989.
That was after he had served as the Director of Ghana Institute of Journalism. He became the President of the Ghana Journalists Association and, later, the West African Journalists Association before his diplomatic assignments.
