“The attendance was remarkable,” he stated. “We had an overwhelming presence of journalists, editors, and senior media professionals, which is a clear demonstration of how much value the media attaches to the President’s accountability to the people.”

He stressed that the event was not only about numbers but also about the quality of engagement.

“The range of questions posed and the depth of issues discussed showed that the media took the encounter very seriously. It was an excellent platform for the President to clarify policies and respond directly to the concerns of Ghanaians,” Mr Kwakye Ofosu noted.

According to the Communications Minister, President Mahama’s commitment to openness and transparency was once again affirmed through the session.
