The President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Affail Monney says the Citi TV journalist, Caleb Kudah who was arrested by police officers for allegedly filming at the premises of the National Security Ministry, breached of the Association's code of ethics.
He said, the journalist breached Article 13 of the GJA constitution.
"Caleb erred as far as our ethics is concerned. He clearly breached the ethics relative to Article 13 of our own code of ethics which specifies journalists should take pictures through fair, straight forward and honest means unless tampered with by national interest.

"His interest here is not so clear. From the face of it, we believe he erred," he said on Accra-based Joy FM as quoted by Pulsegh.
He explained that Kudah flouted the law of the land which bans video coverage of security installations.
He said the violation of Article 126 by the journalist may have triggered the use of excessive force during their arrest.
He noted: "Caleb shouldn’t have filmed without permission and Caleb should have realized that place is a security zone and in every security zone, the security laws apply. It is a no-go area as far as photography is concerned and his violation of regulation might have triggered the overreaction from the security operatives."
The Journalist, Caleb Kudah who was arrested on Tuesday, May 11, was released some hours later from the grips of National Security operatives.
