The Minister of Fisheries and Member of the Awutu Senya East constituency in the Central Region, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has strongly denied allegations linking her to the reported assault on David Kobina, a journalist with Cape FM.
The alleged incident occurred on January 4, following a vetting process for parliamentary aspirants at the Central Regional Coordinating Council in Cape Coast.
In a statement, the Minister labelled the allegations as baseless and intentionally fabricated by her opponents to tarnish her reputation and gain political advantage.
She rejected the allegations and urged the respective stakeholders to refrain from making premature judgments and to allow thorough investigations into the allegations.
“We categorically reject the claim that individuals associated with our team were responsible for this regrettable act. Mavis Hawa Koomson has consistently advocated for a peaceful and constructive political environment, and our team does not endorse or engage in any form of violence. We call on the Ghana Journalists Network and all stakeholders to allow the investigative process to unfold and refrain from premature judgments. Our thoughts remain with Mr. Kwabena, and we hope for his way to recovery.”
