Dialogue on political insults must establish clear standards – Martin Kpebu

” Mr Kpebu maintained that a sustained process of dialogue, public education and possible legal reforms could help establish clearer standards for political communication while reducing disputes over what constitutes an insult.

Mr Kpebu therefore welcomed the idea of national dialogue, saying it could help stakeholders establish clear parameters around political communication.

Mr Kpebu stressed that addressing political insults should not be treated as a one-off exercise, arguing that the proposed dialogue should form part of a sustained process.
