Quoting the Ghana National Commission on
Culture, The Washington Post reported that the freeze on the
activities of Jehovah's Witnesses remains in force (2 February
1991). According to Inter Press Service, since their arrival in
Ghana, the Jehovah Witnesses have been often in the news, clashing
with every one of the nine governments that have ruled Ghana since
independence in 1957 (26 December 1989). This source further
reported that clash occurred when a number of the sect's school
children were sacked on the orders of a district secretary because
they refused to salute Ghana's flag as do other pupils
(Ibid.).
Further information on this subject is
