Multiple award winning Ghanaian reggae dancehall artist Stonebwoy has stirred conversations on social media with his assertion that creatives lack the authority to enact or influence policies in the country.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, only those in positions of power have the capacity to shape and decide upon policies that impact society.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cInto the Future\u201d hitmaker also acknowledged the significance and appreciation that musicians receive, but he stressed the need for realistic expectations from the public regarding their role in policy-making.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stonebwoy\u2019s remarks came in response to a comment from a fan on his Snapchat, highlighting how celebrities often stay out of national issues.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This comment is particularly relevant in the context of the ongoing #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest in the country.<\/p>\n

The #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest, organized by the Democracy Hub, a group of young activists, seeks action on pressing economic challenges and corruption.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Despite facing an injunction from the Ghana Police, the protest went ahead on Thursday, September 21, 2023.<\/p>\n

The police\u2019s handling of the situation, including arrests conducted during the protest, drew strong criticism for impeding the constitutional right to protest and the perceived use of excessive force.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Detainees were taken to various police stations in the capital, sparking outrage from fellow protesters and legal representatives working to secure their release.<\/p>\n
