The association says "the Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang cannot be faulted by any trace of the arrogance of power and impudence of office. Rather, he can justifiably be lauded for his infectious humility and contagious affinity for the people he serves."
The GJA made disclosure whiles conferring an honorary membership award to the DCE.
An honorary GJA membership was has been conferred on the DCE, Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang at the district capital, Wamfie. 
This is in recognition of Mr. Agyeman’s contributions in the promotion of media freedom and also being “a veritable friend of journalists in the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo regions over the years.
The occasion coincided with a Town Hall meeting organized by the Dormaa East District Assembly to keep the residents of the area abreast of the various development programs going on in the district.

The GJA president whiles presenting the award disclosed that Hon Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang is the first to receive such an award in the three Regions, Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo, and the ninth in the entire country with the recent one being conferred of the former IGP, James Oppong Boanu some four years ago.
The GJA took the opportunity to ask journalists in the region to adopt Dormaa East as a pilot project and drive its development agenda to the hilt. 
However, Dr. Monney said, “this is not a license to discriminate against other districts in terms of media attention but a call to strike a strategic balance in the work of the media”. 
On his part, the DCE, while expressing appreciation to the association, said he's humbled for the honor done him and pledged to continuously promote the course of the media.

Profile and education 
Born on 25th May 1978, Mr. Emmanuel Kofi Agyeman began his education at the Mewefiriwuo D/A primary where he ended in Class 3 and continued at the Roman Catholic Primary at Kyeremasu from class 4 to class 6.
He was chosen as the school prefect when he was in Class Six. After successfully completing his Junior Secondary School (JSS as it was then referred to), he progressed to the Berekum Senior High School (BESS) from 1997 to 2000 where he successfully passed his Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) organized by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
Mr. Agyeman then pursued a degree in Physics at the University of Education, Winneba from 2002 to 2005 and became a physics tutor at the Notre Dame Girls Senior High School at Fiapre near Sunyani upon completion.
From 2018 to 2019, he gained admission to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to pursue his Masters's degree in Industrial Mathematics. He also holds another Master’s degree in Theology.
Community service

From 2011-to 2015, he was the Assemblymember for the Kyeremasu-Ahenboboano Electoral Area.
Mr. Agyeman is always remembered for his footprints in raising the fallen standards of education in his Electoral Area during his era as the Assemblymember for the area as he mobilized some of his colleague teachers to map-out strategies to improve on the situation.
This yielded great results and for the first time, the town of Kyeremasu recorded a 65% pass rate in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) as against their 15% score in the previous ranking.
Party Politics

Mr. Kofi Agyeman became the Dormaa East Constituency Chairman of the New Patriotic Party from 2013 to 2017 when President Akufo-Addo appointed him as the DCE for Dormaa East, a position he still occupies.
Kofi, as he is affectionately called, has contributed his quota in terms of party communication and continues to be a very good friend of the media.
He is said to have chosen not to continue his education after Secondary School due to the money he thought he was making out of his photography business. He, however, heeded a bit of advice from an elderly person one day and later abandoned his business in exchange for academic laurels.
