Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah, has said that backlash from some National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters over the Foundation’s report on the Big Push project has actually amplified the exposé.
Speaking on Dwaso Nsem on Adom FM, he revealed that after MFWA published its report raising concerns over sole-sourced contracts under the Big Push initiative, several NDC footsoldiers and social media activists dismissed the findings as propaganda.
Mr. Braimah explained that the group faced insults and attempts to discredit their work, but the reaction inadvertently drew more public attention to the report.
“They thought they were discouraging us, but their attacks only helped spread our findings and bring attention to the issue,” he said.
He disclosed that the President has since directed the Ministry of Roads and Highways to submit all relevant documents concerning the project, while also requesting the MFWA to provide its findings and supporting evidence for further investigation.
Mr. Braimah emphasised that what was intended to undermine the Foundation’s credibility instead strengthened the visibility and impact of their work.
