Shatta Wale proposes balanced framework to tackle social media abuse without stifling free speech
In an open letter to President John Dramani Mahama dated September 28, Shatta Wale said Ghana's response to harmful online content should be guided by clearly defined laws, due process and independent judicial oversight.
Beyond legislation, Shatta Wale called for public education on responsible online conduct to form part of any reform.
He also urged the government and other stakeholders to consult the creative industry early in the process, citing the sector's extensive first-hand experience with public commentary, entertainment reporting and social media.
