Top Story: Ghana's Cybersecurity Bill — A Threat to Free Speech or a Necessary Shield?
Tonight on Top Story with Samuel Kojo Brace, we break down Ghana’s proposed Cybersecurity Amendment Bill — a piece of legislation sparking intense national debate.
Critics say the bill could erode free speech and revive criminal libel laws, while government insists it’s a necessary step to protect citizens from cyber abuse.
We hear from:
The Minority in Parliament, accusing government of trying to silence dissent
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Former Information Minister, who calls the bill “dangerous”
Selorm Branttie of IMANI Africa, who describes the proposed punishments as “draconian and unsuitable”
Our Legal Desk’s Kwaku Asante also breaks down the most controversial sections of the bill and explains why the debate over cybersecurity vs. free expression is far from over.
