NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! You are very very very WRONG. Yours is a simplistic understanding of the concept - DEMOCRACY.
Freedom of speech is predicated on the understanding that in any society no one is precluded from articulating his thoughts, which must -however- be truthful, rational, factual and not to the detriment of another person.
Ghanaians are so lucky that libel is something that does not exist in their dictionary. How many times have you heard of a person being taken to court to seek redress.

Social media capture events and bring it to light. How would we see things done in the dark that can result in violence or wrong choice of leadership for this country. You see, social media brings things to light, to educate, because the people are too ignorant. This minister was being treated like a "mini God" as if he is performing wonders at his work whereas he may just be a thief just like the others.

That is the hall mark of ndc, search and destroy. NDC doesn't belong to Ghana it's too a primitive party. Ghana was brought up by civilized founders and it's a pity in this 21st century we couldn't get civil leaders to move the country forward. It's about time Ghana shun from voting for primitive people to lead us. I agree with Madam Elizabeth Anning's sentiments about JJ RAWLINGS and his formation of this ndc party which has destroyed our country. There was no sense in killing people for less to form a party for criminals to destroy our country. Ghana was better off under SMC, those gallant men ruled Ghana without oil and IMF but we had our freedom and peace. Here we are in Ghana our beloved country where in this 21st century any idiot can call himself a leader, now none entities are ruling such a beautiful town on a hill just destroying it with corruption, stealing, enviness, hatred, disunity, arrogance, selfishness, power drunk, insults and incompetence. NDC IS NOT GOOD FOR GHANA, KICK THEM OUT, SEND THEM AWAY and let's SEE THEIR BACK FOREVER & EVER.

You are no where near the IGP's who have supervised the four past elections. You are trying to be the incompetent one. none of them took your decision and yet they were very successful in all the four elections. If you are lacking ideas, it is better to approach them and ask for help. this step of blocking people from using social media is not the way to go. Your action can bring chaos. you rather have to increase your number and educate the people rather than temporarily taking away their social right.

Under no circumstances should the Minister have been seen in the car or using the car to wave at anybody except he had been arrested and was waving at his fans who support him, whilst being whisked away into jail.
So if Facebook ie social media exposed you for lending your institution albeit a resource of your institution to the NDC person to wave or do anything remotely associated with campaigning or canvassing for votes, then you erred.
The fact that social media exposed that conduct is actually the more reason, Ghana needs more social media applications to check and hold public officers accountable for their actions thereby instilling discipline in the public space.

I completely agree with you given the poisoned atmosphere we have in Ghana. People who oppose this idea are those who don't know how to assess risks.
I agree with you.
Nonsense,have you guys ever thought of the positive aspects of social media rather than the negative bcos it's going against you thieves so you want it to be blocked,so how do you guys understand freedom of speech ?
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA. WE ONLY HAVE TO BE HONEST AND TRUTHFUL. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING TO HIDE TO PREVENT US FROM USING THE SOCIAL MEDIA?
If you can't hold government jobs resign. In a democracy the only good thing you have is your integrity. The citizens in a democracy have the right to say anything about you. If you don't like it you take them to court to red ...

Mr. DCOP, the mere fact that the police allowed the man the use of the vehicle even for a minute is wrong. This implies that the society is up and doing in exposing the shaddy deals by those in charge of our security. It is p ...

DCOP,youve confirmed the minister was indeed in the police vehicle therefore blame yourself but not the one who took the pictures. Let me warn the police that not even the President can gag Ghanaians.

The fact is the man was photographed in the police vehicle so the picture was authentic.
Another foolish police man
Peace in the country will much depend on journalists during and after the November elections because if they choose to sabotage the credibility of the elections it will depend on how they report events as they unfold.
You cannot block users of camera
Can You ??
We are going to introduce a new Sim card working from UK to capture all what you people are planning for THIEFS
Why not bring that your knowledge and skills home to develop the Ghana? Why are you hiding in the UK because of lack of genuine documents to live openly in that country?
This is why no highly trained Ghanaian living in the west wants to join Mahama's administration. A party formed by corrupt high school dropout.

Master DCOP what you are saying is not different from what Facebook,master the minister use the police car,true or false and the answer is true.
Under no circumstances should the Minister have been seen in the car or using the car to wave at anybody except he had been arrested and was waving at his fans who support him, whilst being whisked away into jail.
So if Face ...

They think they can hold government jobs and behave like they work for private companies. If you hold a government job you are being paid by the people and the people need accountability.
Mr Commander, you have no excuse, please shut up. If the MP or whoever he is was not accorded the use of the vehicle, how would he or who asked him to use it as a platform? You are politically biased.
Would you have done sa ...

Closing Social Media On Election Day Won't solve any problem. Re-opening the following day or next after the result, the chaos to be caused by the censor will be catastrophic.
It is the new normal norm and you can't do much about it.There are libel laws in this country so if any individual uses social media to misrepresent facts or issues, take them to court.Your story does not make sense either.He ...

You are lucky the guy was an NDC man. If he had been a member of any party, you would have lost your job. And I think you should lose your job should any other party come to power.
These BBC(Born Before Computer) old men are always working in such a way that the can keep their jobs, so they take dictates from any myopic person because the person is in power.
They only want to rig the elections in favor of NDC, but God being our helper, they would not susceed. The down trodden are really suffering and the government does not care. We need a government that would work on the econom ...

Why should a minister of state jump from his own vehicle to join a police pick up?
Nonsense, was there no ground to stand on when he stepped out of his car, except on a police vehicle? Akohwifo alliance!
