A lecturer at the Department of Communications Studies at the University of Ghana, Dr Etse Sikanku has expressed disappointment with some of the questions by journalists at the president's encounter with the press on Tuesday.
According to him, some of the questions were sweeping and rather disappointing, which he believed gave the President much room to operate.
"To be very honest with you, a lot of us were disappointed with some of the questions asked. And it is not just media observers, analysts or academics; when you monitor the social media, even the citizens themselves have expressed some level of disappointment at some of the questions that were being asked," Dr Etse Sikanku told Accra-based Joy FM.
Touching on the specifics, the lecturer said "there were questions about the cab driver, questions about what the president thinks about in the night, questions that you know very well that this is just an opportunity for the president to take control and just explain."

The Communications lecturer was however quick to add that there were some 'bright spots' during the encounter, particularly, with some of the journalists that asked follow-up questions.
He said such questions compelled the president to come out with specifics on a subject matter.
He however applauded the president for being civil and not antagonistic in his approach to answering some controversial questions raised.
The Communications lecturer believed other communicators at the presidency should take a cue from the style and approach adopted by the President.
