President of the Ghana Journalism Association (GJA), Albert Dwumfour, has noted that he has never been in a position that compelled him to take money in exchange for a service for another.

In an interview on Starr FM, host Bola Ray asked Mr Dwumfour if he had ever taken a bribe before.

His first response was "not that I know of." After further inquiry by the journalist, Mr Dwumfour stated "no, I haven't done that before. I can say with authority that I haven't taken bribe before."

Bola Ray then asked the GJA President if he had ever killed or refused to work on a story for money before.

Mr Dwumfour denied ever killing a story for money and further explained that he would rather engage individuals in need of such services to have their issues resolved.

He said, "There is journalism with results. So when you are actually doing journalism, this media work and you don't expect results, it means you are only wasting your time. The impact of the story is that at least you are able to correct the wrong and ills in the society. What is the essence of a story. I have not dropped a story for money but what I have done is to consult with people to help them address issues."

"At least to get the person's side of the story. Sometimes it may be a one-sided story which is an affront to our ethics."
