The problem is not the lack of laws. It’s selective enforcement.

During an interview on Adoa TV, Executive Director of Penplusbytes, Jerry Sam, discussed how partisan politics and selective enforcement continue to affect the application of hate speech and misinformation laws in Ghana.

He explained that the challenge is often not the absence of laws, but how differently they are applied depending on who is involved and who holds power.

Our Executive Director Jerry Sam has been leading the development of a communication strategy at the ongoing three-day Strategic Implementation Workshop for the Open Parliament Working Group organized by the Parliament of Ghana since Monday.

The communication strategy is aimed at increasing public awareness of Ghana’s Open Parliament Initiative and encouraging citizens to make use of Parliament’s Citizens Bureau as a channel for engagement and participation.

The workshop is focused on reviewing commitments under the Open Parliament Action Plan (OPAP) and strengthening implementation strategies to advance transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in parliamentary processes.

As a member of the Open Parliament Steering Committee, Penplusbytes continues to support efforts aimed at building a more open, inclusive, and citizen-centred Parliament in Ghana.

Learning how to spot misinformation doesn’t have to be boring.
During a special session at the launch of the Ghana Anti-Disinformation Coalition (GADC), participants were introduced to TruthQuest, a scenario-based digital learning game by Penplusbytes that builds media literacy and critical thinking through real-life situations.

Two students from each school stepped forward, took on the challenge, and played the game, live-testing their ability to identify false information, verify content, and think critically in real time.
It was a practical reminder that the fight against disinformation starts with the ability to question, verify, and understand the information we engage with every day.

Participants who took part were rewarded with Penplusbytes-branded items, celebrating not just participation but the willingness to learn and lead.

From interactive tools like TruthQuest to national efforts like the Ghana Anti-Disinformation Coalition, we are building a generation that is not just online but informed. The TruthQuest Game is built by Penplusbytes with support from Impact Amplifier under its Africa Online Safety Fund.

What does it take to build a national response to disinformation?
At the launch session of the Ghana Anti-Disinformation Coalition (GADC), conversations moved beyond theory to action.
Stakeholders discussed the realities of misinformation across communities, the role of local languages and grassroots engagement, how technology, including AI tools, can support fact-checking efforts and the need for stronger collaboration across sectors
The message was clear: no single group can tackle disinformation alone.
The coalition creates a space where expertise, experience, and innovation can come together to drive real impact.

The Youth Seminar on Misinformation and Online Safety was more than a conversation; it marked the official launch of the Ghana Anti-Disinformation Coalition (GADC) project

During the seminar, stakeholders came together to lay the foundation for a coordinated, national response to misinformation and disinformation in Ghana.

The coalition brings together diverse voices committed to protecting the integrity of our information ecosystem.
