A1 Radio writes to retract a paragraph of a story published on www.a1radioonline.com under the caption: “DCE accused of masterminding fertilizer smuggling in Kassena-Nankana district.”
In the said story published on August 17, 2017, paragraph four of it stated: But addressing the media at a press conference in Sirigu in the Kassena-Nankana West district, NPP deputy youth organizer of Chiana/Paga constituency, Thomas Akwalase alleged that the DCE, Clement Dandori has been assisting his personal secretary, Daniel Namoo and two others, Francis Zuadam and Peter Adeyire to smuggle fertilizer.”
Though A1 Radio made frantic efforts to speak to Daniel Namoo, Francis Zuadam and Peter Adeyire who were said to have been aided by the DCE to smuggle fertilizers, we were unsuccessful. We however spoke with the DCE, Dandori who denied ever aiding the trio in fertilizer smuggling.
Our attention has been drawn to the fact that since the trio, especially Francis Zuadam could not be contacted before the publication; the said publication has brought and still has the potential to bring their reputations in question because their accusers and A1 Radio could not establish evidence to back the publication.
We therefore, sincerely regret any damage or inconvenience the said publication would have caused them especially Mr. Zuadam, and subsequently, retract and apologize to them.
