“We need to be able to establish that distinction between free speech and criminal minds.” He said Ghana must protect the democratic space for free expression while ensuring that criminal conduct is not allowed to hide behind the principle of free speech.

Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, says the right to free speech should not be used to justify criminal threats against public officials and their families.
