Men who sexually assault women should not hold key leadership positions in the country, actress Ama K Abebrese has said, condemning such appointments.
In a social media post on November 18, 2025, she stated that no serious nation would reward such men with government positions.
She also said that putting men like that in powerful positions shows that misconduct against women has no consequences and might even be rewarded.

“There is no serious country that will appoint men who have a documented history and allegations of sexual assault/sexual harassment against females to high governmental positions. It sends the message that men can abuse females and be rewarded. Do Better Ghana,” she wrote.
Many people have repeatedly called for ethical leadership and proper scrutiny of public officials, especially when it comes to cases of gender-based misconduct.
This follows the recent appointment of Kwasi Kyei Darkwah as Ghana’s Special Envoy to the Caribbean Region and the earlier appointment of Professor Ransford Gyampo as Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority.
Kwasi Kyei Darkwah has faced allegations of rape dating back over a decade, while Gyampo was featured in a “sex-for-grade” documentary, which alleged he was involved in exploiting female university students.
