JEAN MANSA WILL BE SUBJECT TO LAW, NOT POLITICIANS – EDUDZI TAMAKLOE.

Acting CEO of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) says any potential processes for removing Electoral Commission (EC) Chair Jean Mensa will not be at the instance of political demands.


According to him, any potential move will have to follow constitutional provisions.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, Tamakloe responded to NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia’s recent call for Jean Mensa’s removal, acknowledging his chairman’s strong views while highlighting legal boundaries.

“The views expressed by my National Chairman are views he has always expressed about the Commission. I remember vividly, my chair say, that Jean Mensa at IEA, had a lot of respect for her because she was basically the melting point for political parties. Subsequently, having become the commissioner, the conduct that she put up has never lived up to my national Chairman's expectation both as General Secretary of our party and the national chairman."

However, Mr Tamakloe added that "what is important is that anybody, be it the commissioners, of whoever, their removal processes are not at the whims and caprices of politicians. It is the constitution. So ultimately, the threshold that the Constitution sets, if that threshold is met, that is it."

Referencing the petition by policy think tank IMANI Africa seeking Mensa’s removal, Mr Tamakloe noted that “IMANI is a think tank that has established credibility. I’ve never seen a think tank with such internal diversity."

"Ultimately, any decision must comply with the 1992 Constitution.”

Mass Reach: You touch a global audience with a click, ideas spreading like wildfire. 3. Flexible & On-Demand: No pressure! Content waits for viewers at their convenience, perfect for our busy lives. 4. Anytime, Anywhere Access: With internet, new media’s your pocket companion—work, learn, vibe. 5. Research Powerhouse: A goldmine of info at your fingertips, accelerating curiosity. 6. Relaxation Escape: Memes, videos, games—unwind, laugh, recharge. 7. Interactive & Feedback-Friendly: Spark conversations, tweak on the fly with real-time audience insights. 8. Proximity Without Distance: Bridge gaps, feel connected, foster community. 9.

Disadvantages of New Media: 1. Tech Dependency: Need the right tools, a barrier for some. 2. Learning Curve: Mastering platforms takes effort, not everyone’s tech-savvy. 3. Addiction Trap: Hours slip by, and suddenly you’re lost in the scroll. 4. Privacy Risks: Oversharing invites unwanted eyes, blur personal boundaries. 5. Safety Concerns: Stalkers lhide in the shadows, bullying lurks in comments. 6. Language Drift: Swapping clicks for scribbles might dull penmanship. 7. Inappropriate Exposure: The web’s vast, some corners dark—easy to stumble. 8. Social Shift: Swapping screens for faces, missing real-world connections. Lessons Learnt: This week hammered home balance. New media is a megaphone—use it to amplify the good, protect your space, and stay mindful. Harness its reach for connection, creativity, and growth, but keep one foot in the real world. The key? Engage smart, share intentional, and never let the scroll replace a glance at the stars.

My Journey with Introduction to New Media lecture My journey to introduction to New Media lecture is exceptional .I have just wrapped up the “Introduction to New Media” class and wanted to share three key things that blew my mind and how they have shifted the way I see and use new media. 1. Content Creation & Audience Engagement– I learned that new media is not just about posting stuff online; it is about crafting messages that spark interaction. Understanding algorithms and audience analytics helps me tailor content that actually gets noticed and drives conversations. 2. Digital Storytelling Techniques– The course showed me how to blend text, video, and interactivity into compelling narratives. I now think of stories as immersive experiences, not just written articles, which makes my projects more engaging and impactful. 3. New Media Ethics & Responsibility– We dug into issues like misinformation, privacy, and digital footprints. This awareness makes me more cautious and ethical in what I share and has pushed me to promote media literacy among my peers. How This Changed My Perception & Use of New Media These lessons flipped my view from seeing new media as just a tool to recognizing it as a powerful platform for shaping opinions and communities. I now approach every post with a strategic mindset: focusing on engagement, crafting multimedia stories, and being ethically responsible. This has improved my personal branding and made me more critical of the content I consume.
