According to Vim Lady, the public’s support and the media’s undue attention have emboldened Captain Smart to misuse Ghana’s freedom of speech to launch verbal attacks on politicians and public figures and incite the youth to engage in all kinds of actions.
She stated in a recent video that this culture of “over-pampering” has given Captain Smart a sense of entitlement, allowing him to push boundaries and make controversial statements under the guise of holding politicians accountable.
“The problem isn’t just him; it’s the media that gives him airtime and the public that hypes him up,” Vim Lady emphasized.
She further argued that this unchecked behaviour by the National Media Commission poses a potential threat to national security, especially when Captain Smart uses his platform to attack individuals he deems threats. “Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom to attack anyone without facts or regard for the implications,” she said.
Vim Lady’s comments follow recent criticism of Captain Smart for his alleged role in fuelling unrest in Obuasi. While he has denied these claims, the backlash has sparked a broader debate on the role of journalists and the limits of free speech in Ghana.
