“If a journalist or a member of their community knowingly uses disrespectful words, inappropriate language or conduct against a chief, it is an offense punishable by up to Ghc 2,400 or three months in jail or both. That is according to a rather disturbing Section 63 of the chieftaincy Act 2008. I have spoken about this too many times. This was introduced years after the offense of using inappropriate words against a President was scrapped. The use of inappropriate words against the President is not a criminal offense but doing the same to a chief is a criminal offense even by conduct”, Samson Lardi Ayenini emphatically revealed.
