MFWA introduces Language Monitoring Instrument to ensure decorum ahead of November polls

The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) has introduced a fully-packed-Language Monitoring-Instrument to check abusive speech, as political actors intensify their campaign to canvass for votes - eight months into the November Polls.  

The tools, endorsed by a wide range of stakeholders, would serve as a guide for observers to track about 70 radio networks across the 10 regions, against allowing political actors to use their platforms as conduit to perpetrate hatred and animosity. 

Executive Director of MFWA, Sulemana Braimah made this known at a workshop in Accra. He said the 2016 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections ought to be contested on ideas and issues devoid of insults and the instigation of violence in order to address the concerns undermining national progress.
