According to the NDC, journalists like Erastus Asare Donkor, are standard-bearers of what true patriotism is.
"At the very peril of his life and sometimes in the face of intimidation from the powers that be, Erastus Asare Donkor took his lenses into various forest reserves and hard-to-reach places to expose the underbelly of the Galamsey menace that has assumed alarming proportions under the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration," the statement noted.
