And the very people carrying this message to the public is the media. So politicians must refrain from venting their hunger on journalists during this period. If you are losing, don't pour frusatration on journalists. Dont turn your venom on us. Journalists did not cause your loss," Mr Dwumfour warned. He called on the Ghana Police Service to protect all media practitioners on the field because "journalists life matter."
