Government now criminalising the same political commentary it benefited from – Afenyo-Markin

“Mr Chairman, my dear students, I am raising all these on this platform built for young Ghanaians, because you, more than any other group in this country, who live with whatever precedent is being set right now, a law that can silence a party organizer today can silence a final year student tomorrow.”Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has accused the government of weaponising sections of Ghana’s laws to suppress political opposition, satire and commentary it finds uncomfortable.“These are the laws weaponized to silence political opponents, punish satire, and criminalize political commentary that the government finds uncomfortable.
