    USA is the No. 1 Abuser of human right. It's complete madness for anyone to suggest they are a citadel on human right. Is it bcoz that person is a Villager living in the USA?

    lt was under the useless stupid fool in 2023 that death penalty was abolished.

  • Blue Pen 1 month ago

    Massa, blame both sides of Parliament. If I remember correctly, it was the NDC's so-called human rights lawyer/Madina oyibo, who sponsored the bill to remove the death penalty and both sides supported it.

    Kwasia, who told the death penalty is still not there? Ghana has not abolished the death penalty. It is still there. Ofui. John mahama is incompetent.

    Your argument is so embarrassing because countries with the death penalty experience more murders than those without it! Quit deceiving people with your ignorance.

    People of Walewale and it’s environs must disassociate themselves from these bandits who call themselves Mamprusis. Very soon the name Mamprusis will mean something else. I don’t think this can be allowed to continue.
