Kwaku Manu, in his appeal, lamented about the rise of verbal attacks targeted at public leaders, statesmen and political figures.

In the past few years, digital media brands like Kevin Taylor's Loud Silence TV and Twene Jonas have gained significant traction with their hot political takes, which often come with insults aimed at pushing political agendas.

The Kumawood star in a video appealed to the president for more scrutiny to deter content creators from their verbal attacks.

To Okatakyie Afrifa, Kwaku Manu's appeal appears to be politically motivated.

"You were in this town when Asantehene's name was thrown into disrepute. You were campaigning for the NDC then, so you watched on aloof."

Okatakyie, who is a sworn affiliate of the New Patriotic Party, said that such legislation will fall through the cracks as long as the party remains in opposition.
