Investigative journalist Raymond Archer has clarified that his critical reporting on former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s administration was not driven by personal animosity.
Mr. Archer, whose journalism career spans decades, gained prominence for his exposés on corruption involving appointees of the Kufuor administration.
Kufuor served as Ghana’s president from January 7, 2001, to January 7, 2009.
In an interview on Channel One TV, the former editor of the Enquirer newspaper explained that his investigative work was rooted in professionalism and his dedication to ensuring accountability in governance.
“If you ask me, I personally didn’t have anything against Kufuor as a president or former president Kufuor… It’s just the way I think; when I have a big story, I enjoy it. Maybe in the process, you may make mistakes, but I can always tell you if a story was not worth it, I never wasted my time on it,” he said.
When asked whether he regretted his investigative pieces on the Kufuor administration, Archer confidently replied, “Nothing really comes to mind.”
Raymond Archer is also part of the five-member team spearheading the National Democratic Congress’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).
The initiative is a comprehensive strategy aimed at tackling systemic corruption and financial impropriety.
ORAL focuses on recovering misappropriated funds and resources, with the goal of strengthening governance, restoring public trust in state institutions, and creating fiscal space for national development.
