The Minority Spokesperson on Communication and Member of Parliament for Okaikoi South, Nana Akomea, has urged the government to allow the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) and the National Media Commission (NMC) to handle the implementation of the GH¢l million Media Development Fund, which the government has proposed to set up in the 2012 budget.“Even though the government’s intention is laudable, such a fund will have the full support of people across the political divide should it be placed in the hands of the GJA and the NMC”, he said when he took his turn in the ongoing debate on the 2012 Budget in Parliament today.He said the two media institutions were well-placed to implement whatever intentions the government had for setting up such a laudable fund rather than any other body that might be set up for the purpose.In the budget, the government stated that the fund would be administered by a board of competent trustees which is aimed at improving the professional output and competence of media organisation and personnel in the country.Donors and corporate organisations will also be invited to contribute to the fund.He also chastised the government for failing to fulfill most of the promises made both in the previous budgets and the NDC Manifesto.Nana Akomea added that even though the government was touting its economic achievements, the ordinary man on the street was suffering since prices of commodities kept increasing every day.
