The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has stressed that it will continue to back its member, Salomey Awiti Baffoe, as she faces court over the Ghana Jollof matter.
The GRNMA National President, Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, gave the assurance when she visited Nurse Baffoe in the Bono Region on the first day of the Association’s Phase Three Regional Tour by its National Executive Committee.
Nurse Baffoe is facing a charge of abetment of crime, to wit, publication of false news, under Sections 20(1) and 208 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
She is accused of helping Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, widely known as Ghana Jollof, to circulate videos and to recruit others to share the said content.
The accusations are yet to be proven in court.Mrs. Ofori-Ampofo said the Association has been monitoring the case from the start and has provided lawyers to assist Nurse Baffoe.
She noted that even though the case is not related to her professional work as a nurse, the GRNMA will not abandon her but will stay with her through the legal process.Nurse Baffoe has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
