Is democracy under attack because former public officials are being investigated over decisions they took while exercising public power? Is democracy under attack because people who allegedly spread falsehoods or make threatening statements are invited to answer before the law? Democracy thrives on dissent. The greatest weakness of the "Democracy Under Attack" narrative is that it asks Ghanaians to suffer from selective amnesia. If every investigation becomes "persecution," every prosecution becomes "dictatorship," and every legal process becomes "an attack on democracy," then the phrase itself loses all meaning.
