Former President John Mahama
It inures to the interest of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) if Ghanaians harbour a sense of insecurity. It is a game plan they are obsessed with because of the importance of security in the life of a country. That is why they are feverishly working on it as part of a broad strategy.
The NDC headquarters
engagement with party communication officers by the National Chairman of the
party Ofosu Ampofo leakage of which secret is now the source of infamy for the
political grouping said it all. From kidnapping to the perpetration of arson
around the country, among other vices, they hope to present the country as one
in which armed bandits and abductors patrol in the face of an effective law
enforcement system. That, of course, is far from the true image of the Ghana
under an Akufo-Addo leadership.
Fortunately, Ghana is more
secure today than it was yesterday when ex-President John Mahama was the
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and before him when his predecessors were
in charge.
When there is insecurity
or even a perception of it, the negative impact of it on a country is enormous
and that is what they want to achieve. That is why a so-called ‘insecurity’ has
become a mantra in the NDC. Ex-President John Mahama is so glued to it that he
throws it up at every opportunity that comes his way.
The ex-President has
suddenly become obsessed with the security of Ghanaians – something he failed
to address when he was at the helm.
A Member of Parliament was
murdered in cold blood when the ex-President was the Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces.
The same Ghanaian cops he
now regards as underperforming managed to arrest the killers of the late J.B.
Danquah. That the assassins succeeded in murdering the MP was, of course, the
height of insecurity in the country.
Under John Mahama, a DCE
at Nkwanta was murdered and to date the perpetrators of the heinous crime are
still at large. We do not think that the ex-President does not understand the
word ‘insecurity’ and that is why he is touting the way he is doing. Of course,
he understands it as much as we do, but political mischief – the lot of his
party supersedes all else – including decency in their grouping.
Under him, land guards and
thugs with roots in the NDC were rife. The former are now on the run, their
industry crumbling like ice cream under a scorching sun, and the latter for the
first time about to become extinct as the President orders a legislation to
proscribe their operation regardless of which political party they serve. Isn’t
this country in safer hands than under the mischievous man who relishes
dangling an untrue picture of an ‘insecure’ Ghana now that he is no longer at
the helm?
