Election 2024: Ghana needs peace – Manya Krobo Chief

Accra, Aug. 22, GNA – Nene Sakite II, Konor of Manya Krobo, says Ghana needs total peace and tranquillity before, during and after the 2024 General Election.

“Elections are just a short while away and we cannot tolerate hate speech and misinformation anymore. We are a democratic State but that does not give you the opportunity to say whatever you want, to come out with insults against your opponent. That must stop.”

He said this at a Public Forum on “Media, Peace and Democratic Consolidation in Ghana” organised by the Media Foundation for West Africa in partnership with the National Peace Council, National Commission for Civic Education, and National House of Chiefs in Accra on Wednesday.

He suggested that Parliament passed a law to discourage political parties from using hate speech and spreading misinformation against their opponents to secure the peace in the nation.

“As a traditional leader, the security of the country is so vital to me, and I plead that let’s all stay alert and vigilant as we go through this election,” he said.
