The Police are doing their work. Why this populist propaganda?
Shame unto you. Be humble and learn from wisdom. Since when did you hear that Dr. Bawumia or Nana Addo caused the arrest of any of the people who said despicable things about them?
So the NDC think they are being smart and crooked with an arrest of one of theirs, an organizer whom they possible used in faking insults to Bawuamia just to justify their multiple arrests of opposition members who try to exe ...

Nonsense!! Where was Bawumia when Bongo Ideas was kidnaped, roughed up, and dumped by the road side when he said something stupid about Nana Addo and wife. He did not get a court date. These people are hypocrites.
Don’t worry. So much nonsense and negative comments were made about Kuffour and Nana Addo but people who made such comments were not arrested, handcuffed, taken to court and prosecuted to be imprisoned. Ghanaians take our D ...

Frank Agyena-Karikari is a homeless bastard in US and very corrupt. He also said so much nonsense and made negative comments about Rawlings, but that lunatic wasn’t arrested.
Frank, this is a big fat lie. Between 2022 to 2024, 30 police arrests were made for alleged false publication, insulting of Akufo-Addo, Bawumia and other NPP government officials. Please Google and see the names of the arrest ...

Enforce all laws against Cyber attack & misuse. Bawumia's (dis)interest holds no power. Invite him to answer the huge military recruitment bribes. As Chair of that AF.Council then. Nonentities!
Meanwhile, Bawumia can lead long Nanaddo type convoy delegations. To visit Governor of THE Kumasi, daily in Nsawam. Until he himself is shackled in there, to pair him. Shameless criminals

Now you see why the death of Amed Swale was not investigated.
Bawumia, this PR will not attract any public sympathy for you. Just leave the law enforcement agencies to do their work. They don't need your permission or approval to do so.
Frank I agree you. He should leave the police to do their work. If the police had not taken action, the same person and NPP supporters would say selective arrest is being made. Seeking for cheap popularity.
According to a J ...

Perhaps you don't know that there's a guy serving 10 years for insulting Akuffo Addo.
Please don’t tell us such HOLY LIE. How many people insulted Akuffo Addo and were taken to court to be prosecuted and jailed? We all heard and saw insults and negative things people said about him, even using his height to ...

Frank Agyena-Karkari’s father, the toilet carrier insulted Akuffo Addo, whose family defended murderers. The Kyebi murder.
But you can't compare akufo ado and mahama. Can you? Mahama is a statesman who deserves respect whilst akufo ado is corrupt disgusting nation wrecker who deserves to be in jail. Akufo ado himself knows that he's a laughing st ...

Captain Smart was arrested under Akuffo Addo. Some Journalists were jailed( Mugabe) under Akuffo Addo the dwarf.
Have you heard of the journalist called, Bobby Ansah.
He was not arrested for insults but for saying some people used their influence to buy state lands. This was clearly a civil case which did not require arrest and holy ...

You are such an ignorant illiterate. Were you and Bawumia not in Ghana when Bongo ideas and five others were arrested and tortured for insulting Akufo Addo? Your propaganda will not work

Koku Anyidoho was arrested for his utterances against a sitting president and was arrested at a campaign grounds.
Allow him to train his children like that but not everyone.
We can't take advice from someone who doesn't cherish respect in society.
Why not say same to the NPP lady. Wrong is wrong no matter who it comes from.
BAWUMIA IS OFFICIALLY A CLEARING AGENT.
Just as Mahama discontinued all court cases when he took over which were far fetched from just insults.Lets wait and see.they can't even implement thier policies and rather arrest nkoaaa,maybe that's their major political pro ...

That's class, grace, maturity, wisdom, high sense.

Populist nonsense. Allow the police to do their work. Asking them to stop means that will be your governance style, God forbid. You will be picking and deciding for the police who's conduct is a crime and who is not.

That's my president in waiting. Ghana is indeed blessed with wise leaders. Dr Bawumia's tolerance level is incomparable. Thank you, sir, I love President Mahama too. God bless our homeland Ghana
God will surely ensure justice to the oppresed.
NDC is born out of PNDC which explains their anti-free speech and anti-democratic ways of doing things.
Insulting a public official should not be a criminal offense.
No one forced them to run for office....if they do not like how they are talked about, they can leave politics and become a cocoa farmer.
You see common sense? You see one move from Bawumiah that has rendered the police and Mahama very useless?
Man of wisdom. May God bless Dr. Bawumia
Its crime against the state. Police can continue. You can decide not to cooperate. But that does not stop police sir.

Bawumia is actually a clown. You are playing into the propaganda narrative of the NPP. It will not wash. Let the police do their work.
You have still not responded to the claim that you were sending weapons to Bawku.
See no evil hear no evil has destroyed the NPP.
You are solidarizing with crooks convicted of ecocide and lecturing us on freedom of speech. Who are you fooling?
Wisdom is talking you can now see the difference between stupidity and wisdom. God bless Bawumia
Way to go. The NPP abolished Criminal Libel in Ghana. The NDC set up Kevin Taylor, set him free and backs him. The NDC has no credibility on these matters and can't be trusted on these matters.
Politicians have destroyed our country ,nothing seems to be okay in our country.
Just because of power so no one seems to be telling the truth
