Dr. Domfeh reveals threats on his life for speaking on economic issues

Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. George Domfeh, has revealed his commentaries on national and economic issues have not gone down well with some people, leading to threats against him.

Dr. Domfeh, who conducts regular analysis on government's economic policies, revealed on his Facebook wall that his commentaries on national issues and government policies have not gone down well with some members of the NDC, leading to character assassination and threats.

"Merry Christmas to all, including those who express hostility toward me or disseminate untruths about my person. I pray that God’s grace may guide such individuals toward ethical conduct, civility, and freedom from hatred and rancour," Dr. Domfeh wrote.

Eventhough Dr. Domfe did not mention the name of the said MP who threatened him, his clue of the MP coming from the Oti Region clearly indicated the MP as being NDC MP since all MPs from the region are NDC.

"I had not fully appreciated the extent of this hostility until a former student of mine—now serving as a Member of Parliament (from Oti Region) sent me this message: 'YOU would have disappeared if it were other democracies."

"His characterisation of me was that I am excessively outspoken and vocal. Such reflections raise troubling questions about tolerance for dissent in our democracy."

"Not long ago, political thugs came to my house to attack me. My offence was that I speak about the Ghanaian economy. What an intolerance!"
