False news publication law: Both NDC and NPP use arrests to energise their bases – Adawudu
Rejecting the suggestion that the law criminalises free speech, Mr Adawudu argued that many social media users deliberately post offensive content for political attention.
Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Tuesday, he argued that while the law on offensive conduct should remain as a deterrent, it must not be weaponised against political opponents.
A member of the NDC Legal Team, Victor Kwadjoga Adawudu, says both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have turned arrests over offensive social media posts into political tools that help energise their supporters.
