Insecurity in Ghana under President Nana Akufo-Addo
The government doesn't know how to deal with this state of insecurity.
Folks, the spate of insecurity in Ghana under Akufo-Addo’s watch is more than alarming.
No day dawns and passes by without instances occurring.
What must be happening?
It’s not as if limb and property were not threatened or destroyed in previous political dispensations.
They were; but decisive actions curtailed the danger to a manageable extent.
Not under Akufo-Addo when the situation has spiralled out of control.
The government doesn’t know how to deal with this state of insecurity.
Apparently, the security services are equally incapable.
Could it be due to the politicization of these services?
Or the absorption of unqualified and unfit party members into them who wrongfully use weapons given them to tyrannize Ghanaians?
Could it also be due to the influx of notorious miscreants from other West African countries?
I cringe a lot at the high level of incompetence as far as this insecurity hazard in Ghana is concerned.
This Akufo-Addo has created parallel organs of state for security purposes which aren’t doing well but are keen on politically oriented jingoism to catch Akufo-Addo’s eyes for undeserved praise (for non-performance).
Folks, if for nothing at all, I can proudly raise my thumb for Jerry John Rawlings whose decisive moves secured Ghana.
Kufuor, Mills, and Mahama also secured limb and property for Ghanaians to live their lives in measured assurance to live for the next day.
Every country that has such series of security problems isn’t safe to live in.
My pithy concern: So, even if Ghanaians forced to endure excruciating poverty under Akufo-Addo cannot live their lives in peace, must their lives and businesses be threatened and endangered as is the case?
As tension heightens in the country, Team Akufo-Addo is busily wasting public funds, acting childishly in pursuit of opponents of his governance style and the NPP anathema.
Countries that break up go this way.
Where is Ghana heading to?
