“You have the courage to venture the dreaded.
You have the zeal to question authority.
You are consistent in fighting the ills of society.
You are passionate about protecting the environment.

Michael Sakyi
Drivers, Michael Sakyi and Amos Daneku, proved dedication to duty in covering galamsey sites day and night for the project to be completed.
The documentary, ‘Destruction for Gold’, being broadcast in series on JoyNews, has had a great impact on the populace, as many calls for the application of the law for the seemingly untouchable individuals in power destroying farms and water bodies.
General Manager of Luv Fm and Nhyira FM, Jimmy Aglah, emphasised “the Multimedia Group seeks to be the frontal force in driving change from the ills in society by providing independent, fearless and credible journalism and the management has emphasized this by honouring the gallant men for their services”.
Management and staff of the Multimedia Group in Kumasi joined in celebrating the team members.
