Subject: End the Barbaric Practice of Human Sacrifice in the Name of Tradition

Mr. President, Hon. Members of Parliament,

It is a national disgrace that in 2025, Ghana — a country celebrated as a beacon of democracy in Africa — still tolerates archaic customs that permit the taking of human life in the name of tradition.

We outlawed trokosi. We repealed the death penalty. Yet we remain silent while barbaric rituals persist in the Ashanti Kingdom, where individuals can openly declare themselves as “executioners,” threatening the public with impunity. How can this be tolerated under the rule of law?

No custom, no stool, no throne, and no dead king deserves the blood of another Ghanaian. The Constitution of Ghana guarantees the right to life. This right is non-negotiable, sacred, and untouchable — and no tradition can stand above it.

The Asantehene himself, who sat at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, should know better. Was human sacrifice practiced there? He claims to modernise chieftaincy and enjoys the privileges of state protection and motorcades — yet tolerates a custom that drags us back into the dark ages. Modernisation cannot be selective. It cannot mean luxury for the throne and barbarism for the people.

Where are Ghana’s human rights lawyers? Our Civil Society Organisations? Our pastors who shout loudest when it comes to politics and wealth, but are suddenly silent in the face of murder?

And most of all — where are our political leaders? Shame on every government that has failed to call this out. Shame on every Parliament that has allowed silence to pass for law. If the Asantehene can command respect to stop galamsey, then he can command respect to end ritual killings. Your refusal to act is complicity.

Mr. President, Hon. Members, Ghana cannot walk into the future while chained to the blood-stained practices of the past. You swore an oath to protect life, liberty, and justice. That oath demands action — now.

History will not forgive silence.

End this barbaric custom. Protect the living. Honour our Constitution.

Respectfully,
A Concerned Citizen

It's not what you think of yourself but how you are seen. You and Sam George can go to Joharis Indow and look at your "blind spots".

Remember that having sharp teeth doesn't mean that you can bite whatever comes your way! Find out from Dr. Nyinkpolo why he now has only 17 teeth.

In fact, you won many hearts especially in the last 4 years of npp gov't. You actually tormented the gov't in many ways and that brought npp gov't on its knees. Ghanaians took you seriously and voted the previous gov't out only to realise that all the claims you made against your political opponents were completely false. Less than 1 yr in gov't, your deceit and sensationalism are being exposed day by day. Presidential jet, state of emergency on galamsey, resignation from gov't if a private jet is hired, national cathedral budget, state looting etc, these and others have tarnished your credibility as a politician. You even lied during your vetting but bcos here is Ghana and everything is possible, you are now a minister of state.
