FES to sponsor GJA again in run-off
Accra, Dec. 18, Ghanadot/GNA – The German foundation,
Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES), will sponsor activities of
the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) geared at enhancing
media coverage of the run-off of the presidential election
scheduled for December 28, 2008.
A release signed by Mr. Bright Blewu, GJA General Secretary,
on Thursday said the Foundation would provide support to the
GJA to again make its headquarters, the Ghana International
Press Centre (GiPC), an election resource centre for both
local and foreign media personnel and an election results
relay and dissemination centre for the media during the
run-off.
The GiPC’s operation would be similar to that of the
December 7 polls where certified results from the Electoral
Commission would be posted on notice boards and PRO-info
Interactive Limited would be based at the Centre, projecting
them on giant scoreboards at the GiPC and 10 other regional
locations.
The release stated that two mobile content providers, Sedeli
Enterprises Limited and Mobile Content Limited would also be
stationed at the GiPC re-broadcasting certified results
through mobile phone operators.
It said journalists and other media personnel would keep
vigil at the Centre awaiting results of the polls and music
will be provided by a live band.
The FES will also provide the GiPC with a standby electric
generator.
