Awutu Senya East: Mavis Hawa Koomson challenges GJA President, threatens legal action
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson is calling on the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) to provide evidence supporting allegations of her involvement in the assault on Cape FM journalist, David Kobbina during her vetting.
She deems the media blackout declared by the GJA as inaccurate and is considering legal action against President Albert Kwabena Dwumfour and the association unless they retract the statement or substantiate the claims.
“I had planned to respond to the GJA declaration, but my election activities didn’t allow me. Now that I am done with the interview, I can respond. I was in Cape Coast for vetting, and I even spoke to the media after my vetting, but no one approached me about the issue. I was quite surprised when I heard about the assault in the media space.”

“I don’t think the GJA has conducted a thorough investigation into the matter before issuing the blacklist against me. The GJA President promised to send me the footage of the incident, but until now, I have not heard from him. I am challenging him to provide evidence of the assault proving that I was behind it or to apologize to me. If not, we will meet in court,” Mavis Hawa Koomson told Citi News.
