Scores of Journalists in the country gathered at the Press Centre here in Accra for the one-week memorial service of the late Ghanaian Times Presidential Correspondent, Samuel Nuamah.
President John Mahama and the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah were also at the service.
Samuel Nuamah died in a motor accident involving members of the Presidential Press Corps who were returning from an assignment at Ho in the Volta Region, many were left injured.
Joy News’ Latif Iddris was at the Press Centre and reports that September 17, 2015 has been set for burial of the journalist.
Meanwhile, President of the Ashanti Regional branch of the Ghana Journalists Association Listowel Bukarson says members of the association could impeach the GJA President Affail Monney.
That is if he fails to apologise for comments he passed over the accident in which the Ghanaian Times Journalist Samuel Nuamah died.
Mr Monney has been severely criticised by colleague editors for endorsing the Chief of Staff’s claims that there was no wrongdoing in the presidential press corps accident.
He told Joy News’ Manasseh Azure Awuni that he believes the Chief of Staff’s account about the accident over what his reporters have told him.
Bur speaking on Joy New news analysis programme, Newsfile, Mr Bukarson said the GJA president has brought the name of the Association into disrepute hence the need for him to be removed.
This according to him is stipulated in the association's 2004 constitution.
