Interior Minister, Henry Quartey has issued a barrage of stern warnings to people who use social media to make threatening remarks.
He says before, during, and after the 2024 elections, the Police will monitor every social media account in the country to ensure that no one destroys the peace the country is enjoying currently.
Henry Quartey was speaking on his first visit to the Police Headquarters as Interior Minister.
“We have passed a law in Parliament, the false publication. Social media has become a space where everybody threatens everybody and says anything anyhow. As IGP you have the powers with you.
People sit in the comforts of their rooms and threatens that on the day of elections we will cut them into pieces with machetes. Anybody who makes those remarks we will go after you because that is what the law says. Your statement, and your action should not incite the public, it must not create fear and panic in the public.
Free speech, free association, and free movement but we must be guarded by our statement not to create fear and panic,” he said.
