Gifty Kusi in her complaint dated 13<sup>th</sup> November 2014 claimed that
Pure FM had carried a story stating that she had paid GHC10.00 to delegates
attending and voting at the NPP Presidential Primaries instead of the GHC30.00
she had been given and kept the rest. Also that she had refused to give the said
amount to the delegates from Simpa. The complainant said the statement was untrue
and that the newspaper made no effort to get her side of the story.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

representing PURE FM at the Settlement Committee agreed that they had not treated
Mrs. Gifty Kusi fairly and admitted the professional lapses in their story.
They agreed to retract the story and apologize on air to the MP. The
Complainant duly accepted their apology.<o:p></o:p></span></p></span></main>
