Lawyer and historian Yaw Anokye Frempong shared his thoughts on recent developments in Ghana’s political and social space on Bryt FM’s Adekyee Mu Nsem on Wednesday.
According to him, if someone makes a statement on radio or television that you disagree with, the best response is to share your own ideas and perspectives—not to resort to insults. He criticized recent comments made by Abronya, describing them as going too far, especially remarks suggesting that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) is corrupt.
Lawyer Frempong stressed that political differences should not breed hostility. “If someone is not a member of NPP and you are, that doesn’t mean members of the NDC should be your enemies. The same applies in reverse,” he said.
He further explained that Ghana’s strength lies in unity despite ethnic and political diversity. “We cannot all be Ewes, Ashantis, or Dagombas.
But when we come together, we become good citizens and build the nation,” he noted.
Using historical anecdotes, he recalled a time when some Ga people in Accra introduced the slogan “Akwaaba.” In response, an Ashanti remarked that the Ga people should be proud that Ghana’s capital bears their name. Similarly, when Ga people promoted kenkey as “Accra Kenkey” (nkran dokono), it placed their identity at the center of national culture.
Lawyer Frempong also highlighted the contributions of notable Ga personalities like Tetteh Quarshie to national development, emphasizing that all ethnic groups have played vital roles in shaping Ghana.
He concluded by stating that becoming a lawyer is even more challenging than being a historian, underscoring the weight of his legal and historical perspective.
