On Saturday I wrote an article about Mr Kennedy Agyepong against the backdrop of comments he made on his own radio station Oman fm. In the article I argued that such treasonable comments have the capability of endangering the peace and stability of Ghana, especially coming from an influential person of the biggest opposition party and an MP.
His subsequent invitation by the CID and the likelihood that he would be charged of treason is a strong indication that no one is above the law no matter how rich, influential and powerful you maybe.
The police, CID etc, must ensure that they exercise their constitutional mandate to ensure peace and stability in the country by applying the same rules to everyone irrespective of their political, economic or religious status. The security service must be proactive and swiftly arrest and prosecute people who take the law into their own hands, especially as the campaigns heat up in the coming weeks and months.
However, any attempt to have people from the government side go free after making similar comments will taint the image and credibility of the security apparatus. Such acts,clearly, would be more dangerous than the comments made by the MP and other cohorts.
Politicians must note that in the face of instability and chaos, they can’t ”think big” and a “better Ghana Agenda” will be inconsequential. Therefore, their actions and inactions should be towards safeguarding the peace and tranquility of the nation.
We want from our politicians policies and ideas that will break the chains of poverty from our people; ideas that will create jobs and inspire the youth; and ideas that will give hope in the face of despair. Anything opposite this must be fiercely resisted by all.
For all Ghanaians, we must either be on the side of peace, tranquility and stability or choose the path of a total systematic collapse, a collapse that will have significant consequence on the countries forward march and prosperity. And for the youth, we must understand that Our destinies are not implanted in the hands of any politician, but our own. Our allegiances to politicians should not be fixed on the basis of how powerful and loud they are in the media, but the sincerity and will to carry through progressive, innovative ideas..
God Bless Our homeland Ghana!
