Bawumia has vowed that intelligence agencies will not be used to pursue citizens for insulting public officials or the president if he becomes president. The promise was made in a social media post where he also criticized the arrest of a man accused of insulting him. The former vice-president emphasized that criticism is a right and should not lead to legal action. His comments come amid ongoing discussions about freedom of speech and the role of security agencies in enforcing laws. The pledge contrasts with current practices where insults to public figures can result in arrests. Bawumia's stance reflects his campaign focus on reforming the justice system and protecting civil liberties. The issue has sparked debate among political analysts and citizens.
