Over the
weekend, Kumasi police arrested street King artist Kwaw Kese for smoking weed
with a group of friends at a private joint. The news of his arrest has led to
social media Hash tag #FreeKwawkese. Kumasi base artist Young So, has express
his opinion and question the unfair treatments Ghana police service are giving
to the Street King Kwaw Kese, who is still in the police custody. This is what
the young uprising artist have to say on the issue:
Does the
Ghana police wants to tell us that they never witnessed what happened during
Chris Brown's visit to Ghana, when he publicly smoked marijuana on stage? My
question to Ghana police service is; do the laws of Ghana only applies strictly
on Ghanaians and favours foreigners who visit the country?
I might be
wrong but it seems to me that the laws of mother land Ghana only punished it
citizens and free foreigners who commit the same crime. If smoking ?weed?
publically is a crime and the person must be arrested then why didn?t the
police arrest Chris Brown for smoking on a public domain? The way the police
service is handling Kwaw Kese?s incident is almost comparable to someone who
have committed a murder. I?m not trying to question the credibility of the
police force of this country but my biggest worry is, why wasn't Chris Brown
arrested? Do you think American Government will free a Ghanaian artist if he or
she committed the same crime in the United States?, I truly think it would have
been a different story.
There is
an adage that, ?If you never heard the heard that it rained can?t you see from
the land that it has rained?? My other concern is why the Police denied the
King of the Streets, Kwaw Kese a bail? I think every citizen who gets caught by
the law is given a due process which grants the offender the right to obtain
lawyer and request for bail. The Supremacy of the Law makes us understand that,
No one is above the law irrespective of Color, Sex, Age, Social Status or
Political Influence.
We can all
cast our mind back to Mr. Eric Amoateng?s Narcotic Case. What about Daasebre
Dwamena? Was he granted freedom because he is not an American and not familiar
with their rules and regulations? The answer was a BIG NO. So, how come Chris
Brown was freed but Kwaw Kese has to be confined over similar case?
Now my
question is; Is the Police ensuring observance of the laws and rules? YES or
NO! If YES, then they should bring Chris
Brown back to Ghana for him to face the laws. If No, then I suggest Kwaw Kese
should also be released because, this is not fair to all parties as dictated by
reason and conscience. FREE KWAW KESE
