    What government arrested Aisha Huang? When the Chinese lady became a household name in Ghana under NDC, why didn't NDC government arrest her?

    Unfortunately, what Osafo Marfo said is still being practiced today. Under the present government, Chinese galamseyers are not jailed; they are merely deported - just like Aisha Huang.

    I think ghana should change the laws to deal harshly with Chinese in galamsay. Heavy punishment for the Chinese will change this thinking. Chinese found to be engaged in galamsay should be sentenced to death.
