About the Book

For more than thirty years, David Ampofo has created a platform that interrogated institutional structures and government policies. As a journalist, his early training at the political leadership school, Escuela Nico Lopez in Havana, Cuba, strengthened a patriotic and unapologetic approach to journalism and media. Over a career that has taken him from the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation to CBS News, Walter Judds and The Observer, David has had a front row seat to some of the most compelling political dialogues, and in his native Ghana, his distinctive storytelling and investigative work became a respected avenue for public information across the country.
