The Member of for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, has said that Ghana stands to save more than GH¢25 million if witch camps in the country are disbanded.
Sosu said dismantling these camps would not only reduce the government's economic burden, but also help restore the basic human rights of those forced into them. "The reason former President Akufo-Addo gave for not signing the bill simply doesn't hold water.
We've conducted a fiscal impact analysis of the bill, and as of 2023 when it was passed, it showed that over the course of 30 years, the government had spent more than GH¢25 million catering for people living in witchcraft camps.
Disbanding these camps would save the country all that money, while also allowing affected individuals to live freely without any limitations," he indicated.
