Former President John Agyekum Kufuor denied the information reported by the media, claiming that he had called for permission from journalists in Ghana.

The former president and statesman would have made the call at the launch of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) 70th anniversary on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 in Accra.

However, Mr. Kufuor rejected the reports.

He denied this when a GJA delegation visited him at his home in Accra to thank him for honoring his invitation to launch the platinum anniversary.

"I just explained that journalists have to be cautious in their work because of their influence. I did not say that journalists should have a license, "Kufuor said in a statement issued by GJA President Rowland Affail Monney.

Dr. Adubofour, the former president's personal badistant, also stated that, apart from Mr. Kufuor's speech, there was no opportunity – before, during and after the event – that he has granted a reporter or journalists an interview such an appeal, the statement pointed out.
