No preacher has the right to impose beliefs on bus passengers – Kwesi Pratt Jr backs preaching ban

Speaking on Accra-based Metro TV on Wednesday, October 14, amid controversy over the proposed ban on preaching and hawking in commercial vehicles, Mr Pratt Jr said the 1992 Constitution guarantees freedom of conscience, including the right to practise any religion or to have no religious belief.

Mr Pratt Jr questioned the basis for allowing preaching in public transport when passengers may belong to different religious groups or hold different beliefs.

Veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr has defended restrictions on preaching in commercial vehicles, arguing that passengers should not be compelled to listen to religious messages during their journeys.
