“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.
The workshop, which is under the theme “Investigative Journalism: From Exposure to Punitive Action” is being organised by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Chief Executive Officer of Tiger Eye PI Media (Tiger Eye) and the US-based research and education think tank, Africa Center for International Law and Accountability (ACILA).
