The vulture of silence – Kurom Ayɛ Dinn – Occasional Kwatriot Kwesi Yankah writes

The narrative highlights the struggle for free speech in Ghana, as evidenced by the voices of women at a recent street demonstration. These women, expressing their concerns and frustrations, plead with the President to restore freedom of speech, acknowledging their potential mistakes and cultural shortcomings. Despite the challenges, some advocate for alternative platforms such as social media to voice their opinions, but they remain concerned about the lack of support from civil society organizations, the clergy, and the media.

They question the effectiveness of previous champions of free press and urge for a new generation of advocates to rise. While criminal libel law has been repealed, Kurom Ayɛ Dinn persists, questioning the state of civil discourse in Ghana and the government's commitment to safeguarding freedom of speech.
