Controversial investigative
journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has bagged the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA)
anti-corruption star award.
Anas was rewarded with a citation and a plaque for his
persistent war against corruption in the country.
Acting President of MUSIGA, Bessa Simons, and some leaders of
the group presented the award to Mr. Anas Aremeyaw Anas at a short ceremony in

campaign dubbed ‘the role of music in the implementation of the national
anti-corruption plan (NACAP)’, and it was supported by STAR-Ghana Foundation.
The award also recognised the analytical attention to detail
of the undercover journalist as well as his constant strive to ensure that
politicians and all duty bearers deliver on their mandate while eschewing
corruption in Ghana’s national discourse.
Receiving the award, Anas Aremeyaw Anas emphasized the
importance of the award to him, saying he was humbled to have been honoured by
legends of the music industry whom he had read about and listened to while
growing up.
