Akosua Manu has called on Ghana's Gender and Education Ministers for urgent action and accountability regarding rape allegations against the Obuasi SHS headmaster.
New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator Akosua Manu has raised concerns over the response of the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection to cases involving women and children. In a social media post, Miss Manu criticized the Minister's prompt outreach to the husband of a popular social media influencer following allegations of child abuse, highlighting the need for similar urgency and empathy in other cases.
She pointed out the case of Salomey Awiti, whose mother was reportedly detained in Accra for nearly three weeks, and questioned whether authorities had considered the emotional and psychological impact on the children involved.
