Talk is cheap, because this is happening in the northern part of the country everyone is scared shit to go and demolish the camps and because NDC get most vote in these districts they won't dare draw the wrath of these people who are trampling on the rights of others. If these camps existed in Ashanti or Eastern region they would have demolished them already.

We have been adamant on dis for far too long and am sure the problem is not going to go away after 50 yrs. madam, you are not the first and wouldn't be the last to address these issues. What abt the fake religious leaders who prey on this vulnerability and the media is not helping matters either...? After 21:00, all the radio stations is championed by one fake pastor doing his own thing with fake callers assisting them. Our policies don't work and the vulnerable would pay dearly for it!!!!

I suppose if these pastors told your family containd witches, you would be the first to take them to these camps.

The battle is not for God it is a battle of your own ignorance.

I cannot believe we have a government in Ghana and if we have one, then it is principally USELESS one. What else explains why a government looks on when older citizens and very small children are chain-camped and must live like animals.

Ghanaian politicians use part of their brains only to develop methods of corruption and get rich. The major part of their brains remain useless!

What horror! A presidential decree backed by parlamentary approval to CLOSE down once and for ever all camps in the country,making provisions for full economic and social riabilitazion outside the region .Vestiges of primordial beliefs including juju that have no truth but assination of fellow human beeings!!

This obsession with labellig people as withces is backward and doesn't belong in this time. People are hiding behind religion and fake pastors to persecute people. Some because simply an issue occurred (poverty, adultery, family arguments) so it has to be witchcraft right? Nonsense!

This is a backward mentality usually by people who claim to love Jesus but yet isn't one of the fundamental point of religion such as Christianity love thy neighbour.

When it comes to this issue, Ghana is embarrassing itself.
