Political Science lecturer and CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Prof. Ransford Gyampo, has decried the rising tide of character assassination in Ghana’s public discourse, warning that the trend discourages competent citizens from offering themselves for national service. In a statement Tuesday, Prof. Gyampo, known for his outspoken views on governance and civic responsibility, said he remains unshaken by recent defamatory attacks on his character but expressed deep concern for the country’s future if such toxic narratives continue unchecked.
