Former President John Dramani Mahama has vented his anger at what he’s described as abuse and lawlessness on the part of state security agencies in recent times. According to him the Ghana Police Service has diminished it’s integrity and professionalism for partisanship and in worst cases condoning criminal operations. He remarked that such tendencies and it’s attending consequences breeds chaos and civil apprehension in the country.
Addressing party men and workers at Adjei Kojo in the Greater Accra Region, the Presidential Candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Mahama said it’s about time “this nonsense is stop.”
He explained that the current government has been lax in sanctioning discipline among police personnel hence the trend of crime in the country.
Mr. Mahama accused the Akufo-Addo government of flooding the security agencies with party footsoldiers to wreck confusion during the elections. He indicated that it’s sorry “how some personnel of the security agencies are given weapons and body armour to protect party people instead of the civilian.”
He alleged that some of these personnel do engage in robbery and other crimes with he logistics they are given by the service.
“They’ve given them full body armour and weapons. Weekend their part time work is arm robbery. The very tools they were. Given is being used to rob us. NDC will come and stop all that nonsense,” he alleged.
