It was aimed at giving hard-working journalists in the regions the opportunity to be recognised in their respective fields. Mr Sabit filed three community stories which include the abandoned CHPS Compound at Agyina in the Kintampo South District, the poor water situation at Asuoti under the Nkoranza North District and the terrible nature of the Amoma road which is affecting Economic activities within the area. The organisers among other things lauded Mr Sabit for visiting these areas most of the times on a motorbike despite the harsh conditions of the terrible road network, weather conditions and unavailability of telecommunication services in most of these areas.
