Dr Abednego Lamangin Bandim, the MP for Bunkpurugu, has expressed his satisfaction with the allocation of GH¢10 million as seed money for the Media Development Fund. The announcement by President John Dramani Mahama, which he described as a significant commitment, has been welcomed across the political spectrum in Parliament. Dr Bandim stated that his constituents had been waiting for such support for a very long time.
He highlighted the President's professional background in journalism and communications, which made the announcement unsurprising as he himself is a journalist and a former Minister of Communications. The PhD in communications management holder also pointed out that discussions on the legislative process for establishing the fund have begun in Parliament, with the committee expected to take up the bill when it is presented as a Private Member's Bill.
