Majibu[hariri | hariri chanzo]
Mwandaaji wa vijana wa eneo la Brong Ahafo wa New Patriotic Party, Kwame Baffoe amefananisha wale ambao hawaelewi sera tata ya elimu ya bure ya SHS ya chama hicho na wachawi wanaopaswa kutumwa kwenye kambi ya wachawi ya Gambaga ili kuelewa manufaa ya sera hiyo.[13]
Aliyekuwa mke wa rais wa Ghana, Lordina Mahama, alitoa vitu vya aina mbalimbali kwa wanaodaiwa kuwa wachawi kambini kwa ajili ya kuwatunza wakati wa ziara yake katika sekta ya kaskazini mwa nchi. [14][15]
Yaba Badoe alitengeneza filamu ya maandishi, The Witches of Gambaga kuhusu wanaodaiwa kuwa wachawi[15]
