There were claims by some media houses that some of their colleagues were favoured at the event.

But Mr Hamid has been explaining the situation, saying that: “Somehow, there is an accusation which I’ve heard which may be justified that many of the people who were called were either from EIB or Multimedia … the justifiable one is what I’m admitting to you, there’s no need to lie, that there were many people from EIB and Multimedia, but they are independent media houses on their own.”

“If you look at it, this is Adom FM, this is Joy FM, this is Joy TV, this is GHOne, this is Agoo TV. I mean if you want to say that the whole of Multimedia, too, you’ll just allow one question, it’ll not be fair but you heard me say that for Joy FM, in particular, I would allow only one person to ask only the question, so I was conscious enough.

“I called Daily Graphic, I called Daily Guide, I called GTV, so I tried to be as balanced as possible but I’m human, of course, and if I’ve made mistakes I admit that I’ve made those mistakes, I’m not perfect at all, so if I’ve made mistakes I apologise sincerely from the bottom of my heart. I’m very sorry, let them forgive me but it can never be deliberate,” he told Accra-based Class FM.

Meanwhile, the president during his maiden encounter with the media on Tuesday commended the media for giving him the needed support in the past six months.
