President of the Private Newspapers and Online News Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG), David Tamakloe, is in New York to cover the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), which runs from September 23 to 30, 2025. He departed Accra on September 21 to join global leaders, diplomats, and journalists at this high-level gathering.
Mr Tamakloe, a seasoned journalist and governance advocate, will provide in-depth coverage of the Assembly, offering investigative perspectives on critical global issues such as peace and security, climate change, sustainable development, and Africa’s place in shaping the future of multilateralism. He will also feed PRINPAG members with timely and exclusive updates for publication across their platforms, ensuring the Ghanaian public receives accurate reports from the proceedings.
With more than two decades of professional practice in print, television, and digital media, Mr Tamakloe has built a reputation as one of Ghana’s leading investigative journalists. His exposés on high-profile corruption scandals, including the controversial “Agyapa Deal” and questionable COVID-19 procurement contracts, have influenced governance reforms and accountability in Ghana. Beyond journalism, he has worked with international bodies such as Transparency International and the Global Integrity Initiative on governance and anti-corruption projects.
David is the founder of The New Republic Newspaper, co-founder of Whatsup News, and head of DST Global Consult Limited, Amicus Media, and Origin Variety Farms.
In a statement, PRINPAG’s Executive Secretary, Jeorge Wilson Kingson, described Mr Tamakloe’s participation as “an opportunity to amplify Ghana and Africa’s perspectives on the global stage,” expressing confidence in his professionalism and commitment to impactful reporting.
Joining him at UNGA is Isaac Darko Boamah, Managing Editor of The Metro Lens Newspaper and a prominent PRINPAG member. Accredited to cover the Assembly, Mr Boamah—who also serves as the Mawerehene of Akyem Adadientam in the Eastern Region—will support the coverage effort by providing timely reports for Ghanaian media.
Their joint invitation underscores PRINPAG’s commitment to ensuring that the Ghanaian public remains well-informed about key global decisions and discussions shaping international governance.
