The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the screening of the latest undercover investigative piece by investigative Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas will take place at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).as scheduled.
According to the Ministry, the earlier confusion about the change of venue “ was due to a scheduling conflict at the level of the AICC staff and not in any way a political decision as being speculated.”
In a statement signed by Mrs Vivian K.A Asempapa, the Director of AICC, the matter has been resolved adding “we have made contact with the organizers and the event is scheduled to come off as scheduled”.
Tiger Eye P. I. had earlier alleged that it had been prohibited from screening its latest undercover investigative piece titled ‘Galamsey Economy’ at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
The event which was scheduled to take place on Monday and Tuesday (14 &15) of November at the AICC was prohibited after management of AICC informed the Tiger Eye P.I. team through their agent that the venue was no longer available for their use.
In a press release announcing the hitch, Tiger Eye P.I. stated that they have “already fulfilled every requirement of AICC to use the place, including payment for the venue despite last minute change in cost by about per cent (30%).”
“Tiger Eye is saddened that barely 48 hours to the public screenings, when invitations have been sent to the diplomatic community and other high-profile individuals in society, and flyers sent out to the public, we have had to look for a new venue”.
