It is a  nuisance law; stop pretending it is a religious war

The law applies to one specific context, inside a moving commercial vehicle, and that context alone, and the law applies to every religion equally: Christian preaching, Islamic preaching, preaching of any tradition or denomination, all of it prohibited in the same moving vehicle under the same regulation with the same penalties attached.

The Road Traffic Regulations 2026, under Regulation 141, classifies religious preaching and street hawking inside moving public or commercial vehicles as a public nuisance, with violators facing fines or imprisonment.

Fellow Ghanaians, and the specific framing of this as an attack on Christianity, as though the law targets Christian preaching specifically or treats Christian preachers differently from any other religious practitioner, is not just misleading.
