Managing
Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has urged security
services in the country to enforce the country’s laws and ensure that
any outlaws are brought to book.
Speaking on Radio Gold’s ‘Alhaji
Alhaji’, the Insight editor, also a member of the Socialist Forum,
issued a strong warning to the section of the public who are prepping
themselves to instigate riot in the nation, following the verdict by the
Supreme Court Judges.
According to him, the security agencies
should enforce the law “rigorously without fear or favour” on “rascals
and vagabonds” who are interested in causing mayhem in the aftermath of
the court ruling.
To him, the nation should not be taken to ransom by the actions of any group.
“Why
should we go on our knees begging them?...Why should this country be on
its knees because misguided adventurists are threatening to break the
law…What is the purpose of having a Police Service, of having the Armed
Forces, of having the National Security…?”
He also wondered why
some political figures in the country seem to feel jittery by the
presence of the security services who according to him, are only
demonstrating their “muscles” to prove to Ghanaians their readiness to
combat any unanticipated incidents after the Justices sitting on the
election petition give their ruling.
“Nobody, whether they are
Presidential candidates or Ex-Presidential candidates or Party General
Secretaries or whatever, should be allowed to take the peace and
security of this country for granted and should be allowed to threaten
us,” Kwesi Pratt warned. |
