Kofi Frimpong Ziega questions the effectiveness of the National Peace Council & the National Security Council
Kessben TV’s Nana Kofi Frimpong Ziega has raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of the National Peace Council and the National Security Council.
He questioned their ability to address and condemn the current issues and statements that are stirring unrest in the country.
Frimpong began by questioning the role of the National Peace Council, asking what happens to the council if it cannot condemn the harmful actions and statements made by individuals in the country.
He pointed out that in the past, the council had condemned phrases like “all die be die” and “boot for boot.” However, he wondered why the council is now silent in the face of similar or even more severe statements.
He expressed his concern that the people of Ghana seem unaware of the impending challenges of this year’s election.
According to Frimpong, the leaders of the country have failed to inspire hope among the populace.
Moreover, he questioned the actions of the National Security Council in the current climate, suggesting that their silence could have dire consequences in the future.
Frimpong stressed a recent statement by Chairman Wontumi, who accused retired COP Nathan Kofi Boakye of recruiting “bad boys” in the Ashanti region to terrorize people. Wontumi claimed that Boakye would be banned from the town for allegedly disowning the Ashanti kingdom.
Additionally, Frimpong noted that within a week of this statement, NDC members had alleged the presence of Azoka boys in the Ashanti region, yet the National Peace Council and security agencies remained inactive.
He questioned whether the National Peace Council and security agencies had become blind or deaf to these developments. Frimpong referenced Section 2 of the vigilante law, questioning its relevance if such actions are not condemned.
Furthermore, he mentioned a statement by Abunya DC, who warned that any NDC member blocking the NPP’s victory in this year’s election would face the same fate as those in Techiman during the last election.
Frimpong concluded by questioning the current state of the National Peace Council, suggesting that their only known activity is organizing peace walks.
He called out prominent figures such as the Queen Mother of Mampong, Dr. Rev Adu Gyamfi, and Rev Duncan Williams, questioning their silence.
Notwithstanding, he ended his remarks with a stark warning, stating that the country is on the edge and expressing frustration with the constant reference to Rwanda as a cautionary tale. He urged everyone to be careful and vigilant.
