SPEECHES
Speech by Mrs Matilda Asante-Asiedu, Second Deputy Governor, at the World Press Freedom Honours Night 2026
It is an honour to join you tonight as we mark World Press Freedom Day under the auspices of the Ghana Journalists Association. My presence here evokes a certain nostalgia. As a member of the “inky fraternity,” I have attended many of these commemorations over the years—usually sitting where you are, asking the questions, not answering them. So tonight, I find myself in a very interesting position: on the policy side of the conversation. And I must say, it is a bit like becoming the subject of one’s own editorial.
