The Office of the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Krachi East has condemned some media outlets’ coverage of Francis Kofi Okesu’s death as unprofessional and unethical.
According to the MCE’s Personal Assistant, Sham-Una Gmakanyi Sulemana, the MCE is a “devoted Christian, diligent, and sober.”
As a result, the family was taken aback by the media coverage.
“We, the family, were shocked by some media reports; we are very confident in the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Health Service conducting an independent investigation and publishing an autopsy report to determine what caused his death.”
Until such a report is issued by the state’s professional institutions, any media story, such as the recent headlines from Joy News, Daily Graphic, and other media outlets, should be ignored and regarded as unprofessional and unethical.
“The general public should disregard those fabricated stories from a section of the media attempting to tarnish the late MCE’s reputation, who served his people with respect and diligence over the past year.”
Mr Okesu, the Dean of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in the Oti Region, was discovered dead in a Kumasi hotel room.
