This is a step in the right direction and clear proof that the Church is an institution that operates both in faith and action. Given the role the Church as an institution has played in national development over the years, it may not be out of order to acknowledge it as the Fifth Estate of the Realm, coming after the media whose credential in governance structure has long been established\u201d, Mr. Dwufour added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/FB_IMG_1690436485345.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/FB_IMG_1690436485345.jpg 699w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/FB_IMG_1690436485345-600x373.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/FB_IMG_1690436485345-250x155.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Mr Albert K Dwufour<\/strong>, <strong>GJA Prez<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He described the theme for the conference as most appropriate considering the need to pursue a vigorous national development agenda and reshape the moral vision of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c We may not have empirical evidence, but we are fortified in discernment to firmly hold that the nation\u2019s moral fabric is fast decaying and the consequence thereof is an erosion of national development. Corruption, indiscipline, impunity, disrespect, and greed have seized our moral consciousness. Certainly, we need a renewal of our moral awareness and vision as a nation\u201d, he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Dwufour however assured COP and the entire nation that the media will play a positive role to help renew the moral vision of the nation and also promote national development adding that the media have been playing this role over the years as constitutionally mandated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He therefore called on the media to rise to the challenge and be responsible in the discharge of their duties stressing that the media can do more and better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fb_img_16904366290413353730271330339642.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fb_img_16904366290413353730271330339642.jpg 720w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fb_img_16904366290413353730271330339642-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fb_img_16904366290413353730271330339642-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Former Presidents, John Mahama and John Kufour<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Dwumfour who said he became the GJA President by discipline lined imbibed in him as a member of COP, later expressed worry over attacks on the media in discharging their constitutional mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe media will necessarily expose corruption and other ills of society. Such exposes are normally not palatable to the elements involved. But no matter how displeased anybody may be about the work of the media they cannot resolve their grievances through assault. Even in instances where the media get it wrong or do anything untoward, resorting to assault is not an option under the rule of law\u201d, he intimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He again called on the Executive and the Legislature to condemn attacks on Journalists and called on the Judiciary to punish severely anti-media elements in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_editor_output_image994484971-16904387063505861147306323802159.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_editor_output_image994484971-16904387063505861147306323802159.jpg 712w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_editor_output_image994484971-16904387063505861147306323802159-600x488.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image_editor_output_image994484971-16904387063505861147306323802159-250x203.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Alban Bagbin<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Present at the Conference were the Vice President, Dr. Mahamud Bawumia, Chief Justice, Justice Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, the Speaker of Parliament Rt Hon.
