Renowned Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has called on President John Mahama to consider introducing legislation to curb the growing trend of online insults directed at high-profile individuals.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on May 26, he condemned what he described as a culture of disrespect on social media.
He expressed concern that some Ghanaians frequently hurl verbal attacks at national figures, including the President, the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and prominent businessmen such as Dr. Osei Kwame Despite, Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong, and Ibrahim Mahama.
“There should be a law to address this issue. Some people on social media insult prominent personalities without any regard.
“These ill-mannered and undisciplined individuals should face a one-year jail sentence for each insult,” he stated.
His comments have sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users supporting his stance while others questioned the feasibility and implications of such a law in a democratic society.
