The Ghanaian Times commends the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) and State Insurance Company (SIC) for coming together to roll out an insurance package for journalists who would be covering the December elections. While the Paper agrees with the GJA President that the package would spur on journalists to work harder, it appeals to them not to put themselves in harm’s way in the lead up to the election. The Times urges them to take their personal security and safety seriously in order not to fall into the hands of some misguided elements in society.
The Daily Graphic has expressed worry about FDA’s delay in coming out with guidelines for the safe disposal of medicines. Nonetheless, it is happy that the FDA has come out with a pilot programme to this effect. For the Paper, anything that ensures safety and good health is worth it. The Graphic believes the proper disposal of drugs significantly reduces their negative and toxic effects on the environment and also prevent them from getting into the hand of people who do not need them. The Paper, therefore, welcomes the move by FDA to launch the pilot programme and reminds them that the next stage is sensitization to ensure that society buys into the idea to merit the scale-up to cover the entire country.
