NDC top; NPP follow closely in indecent language
The ruling National Democratic Congress has been
named as topping the list of political parties
which used indecent and intemperate language the
past week.

Out of the nine of such languages recorded, the
ruling government is implicated for making five of
such indecent languages.

The opposition New Patriotic Party followed
closely with four.

This is part of the name and shame strategy being
adopted by the media foundation for West Africa to
check the use of intemperate language in the media
and to create awareness for peace in the upcoming
December elections.

Deputy Executive Director of the Foundation Sulley
Braimah told Joy News the number of cases reported
this week show a study decline in the use of
indecent language.

Whilst encouraged by the decline, he said it is
early days yet to make a firm conclusion.

He said political party representatives have
become increasingly aware of such a strategy and
are ready to be named and shamed.

Braimah named one of the editions of the Newsfile
programme on Joy FM in which the panelists did not
want their names to be mentioned or their
political parties associated with such indecent
languages.
