How do you sit kids down and propel ignorance and propaganda with them like this? After two decades of journalism, you’re not synonymous with anything positive regarding the work you supposedly do, yet this is what you spend air time doing? Disgraceful @thenanaaba pic.twitter.com/7fxcu0lfxY

Nana Aba Anamoah is so in love with NPP!
How old were these children when dumsor was prevalent? Dumsor was 8yrs ago! These kids were probably less than 4yrs. I sometimes even struggle to remember what happened then and you’re using these kids for propaganda? Go to hell Nana Aba https://t.co/30IMMdv5PI— YB 🇬🇭 (@embempah) October 22, 2023

@GHOneTV it is irresponsible on your side to allow Nana Aba Anamoah to do what she did with the Kids. Gradually, you are becoming a disgrace to Journalism in Ghana. Don’t you have media ethics that you allowed this to happen? This is something written and rehearsed over time.

Nana Aba Anamoah is not smart. How do you sit these kids in a studio and have them respond to palpably rehearsed questions with scripted answers for political propaganda. Are there no media ethics against using kids for such political purposes?
