Ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has called for the urgent  creation of more "Anas" to hold Government officials entrusted with the public trust accountable and promote democratic governance in Ghana and West Africa as a whole.

“We need to create more Anas, but it is not just about me. It is about creating and training more people who are united by a common goal of promoting public accountability, anti-corruption, human rights, and fostering democratic governance not only in Ghana, but also in the West Africa Sub-Region”, Anas said.
