Media personality Bridget Otoo has criticized TV3 for apologizing to the Vice President of Ghana Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, after publications ridiculed him.
The media company expressed regret over a satirical flyer by Tilapia Da Cartoonist, which mocked the Vice President regarding the payment of Nurses Trainee allowances.
The graphic depicted a nurse injecting the Vice President to stop “the allawa lies.
“This follows Dr. Bawumia’s assurance to the public that the government would release the outstanding allowances, stating, “I am assuring our trainees that come this Thursday, the Controller and Accountant General shall transfer funds (177 million) to the Ministry of Finance for onward crediting of the trainee allowance accounts. So, hopefully, by next week the ‘Alawa’ will drop.”
Bridget Otoo argued that this apology would stifle the satirist’s creative expression.
