He reported the charge himself on his own Facebook page.

A comment by Joy FM’s Gary Al-Smith on the ongoing “fix the country” national protest has generated a fight between the journalist and the Public Relations Officer for the Ministry of Energy, Nana Damoah.
The “misunderstanding” broke out following a post from the Multimedia Group Limited sports journalist in reaction to comments from some activists of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) suggesting that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is doing his best to fix the country.
“After spending most of yesterday telling us #FixYourSelf and #FixYourAttitude, they've noticed that isn't a good response. So it is now #NanaIsFixingIt and #GhanaIsBeingFixed. I want to say 'Nana is fixing onyɛ' but it's too early. Just #FixTheCountry because you've got the power,” Gary posted on Facebook.
The use of “ony3”, a Ga word which means “Your mother” by the journalist did not go down well with the Energy Ministry PRO, Nana Damoah.
Calling out Gary Al-Smith to be decorous with his language, Nana Damoah said, “The Ony3 was not necessary Gary Al-Smith. Please delete it and let’s move on. If someone else had used same language on you it would have been seen as an attack on journalism etc. let’s avoid such things.”
In a quick response to Mr. Damoah’s advise, Gary said, “Next time, tag me Nana Damoah. I wrote three paragraphs but you opt to take the one sarcastic one where I don’t even insult anyone. And you wonder why I don’t take you seriously?
Sam George says any Ghanaian who has a problem with the #FixTheCountry campaign must have his/her citizenship revoked.
Ghanaian actor Van Vicker has said that he is not for or against the #FixTheCountry campaign.
He rather believes a ‘Let’s Fix the Country’ agenda, will work better for the country’s development.
According to him, fixing the country is a collective effort by both citizens and the government. That is why he finds a middle ground between ‘Fix Yourself’ and ‘Fix the Country’.
In an interview on Citi FM’s Traffic Avenue on Tuesday, he told Jessica Opare-Saforo and Kwaku David that if the leaders are corrupt, it has a toll on the people so it also behoves the citizens to adhere to the regulations they bring and be responsible.
“I think it’s a collective effort because if they say let’s clean our surroundings and I decide not to do it, it has a lot of repercussions,” he said.
“So it’s a collective effort, it’s not just a matter of government fixing it. It is about we all fixing it so I am not taking a stance that we should fix ourselves, neither is it government should fix the country. It is collectively; let’s fix the country,” Van Vicker noted.
The ‘Fix the Country’ campaign is an agenda that started on social media a few months ago, with most celebrities joining the buzz.
About two weeks ago, thousands of Ghanaians hit the streets to demonstrate for the same cause.
Supporters of the ‘Fix the Country’ campaign believe that Ghanaians deserve better than they are being given by the leaders, at present.
