Kwaw Kese’s arrest: Ghanaians live in denial - Ace Ankomah
Private legal practitioner Ace Ankomah has
suggested Kwaw Kese’s habit of smoking cannabis
is not exclusive to him alone, saying several
Ghanaians are hooked on substances than is
revealed.

Speaking on STARR CHAT with Bola Ray on Wednesday,
Ankomah said the musician could be handed a
lighter punishment for his crime left to him
alone.

“I am not one to go for very harsh punishment
under those circumstances. The drug culture is
huge in this country, we live in denial,” he
said.

Kwaw Kese has been handed a two-week prison remand
for using a narcotic drug without lawful
authority. He was arrested Saturday night while
smoking weed in public in Kumasi in the Ashanti
region.

Commenting on the development, the founding member
of pressure group Occupy Ghana subtly condemned
the position of the Ghana Police.

“I attended a music concert. There were about
50,000 people there and there were police men
present and I can tell you more than half of the
people were smoking weed. The police were there
and they did nothing,” Ankomah stated.

The lawyer, however, advised that Ghanaians wake
up to the realities of drug use and trade in the
country so as to find better ways of dealing with
the situation.

He said: “The drug culture is deeper than we
would like to believe.”
