A former general secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and a private legal practitioner, Owusu Afriyie, popularly known as Sir John, has lambasted the Inspector General of Police (IGP) over his [IGP’s] alleged partisan nature.
The outspoken politician alleges that the IGP overlooks crimes allegedly committed by members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He was speaking to Kwame Tutu host of Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM in connection with the clash between supporters of the ruling party and the NPP at Nana Akufo-Addo’s residence yesterday [Sunday].
The police are yet to release any preliminary investigative report on the clash officially. However, the two parties are at each other’s throat over the clash.
The NPP is blaming NDC supporters of instigating the attack while the NDC is also accusing the NPP presidential candidate’s security of firing warning shots at their supporters.
According to Sir John, the IGP is acting unprofessionally; taking sides with the ruling government and has failed to crack the whip on the issue when available evidence points to the fact that the NDC is to blame.
The former general secretary has therefore challenged the IGP to prove everyone wrong by exercising his powers without fear nor favour and deal ruthlessly with anyone no matter their political affiliation when they fall foul of the law including the NDC.
He condemned the attacks and stressed that the NPP would not be intimidated by the violence allegedly being perpetuated by the ruling government.
The NDC he said is bound to lose the 2016 general election, and because of that they are scheming and using violence to intimidate its opponent. He added, the electorates have made up their mind and come December 7, 2016, they will vote against the Mahama-led administration.

remove that partisan spectacle from your eyes. which people started throwing stones to Nana'S HOUSE? your people were the first offenders. Be honest for once to tell them.We are all Ghanaians.
Oh Sir John, what did you say when the NPP was in power and the then IGP closed his eyes to the many atrocities that occurred. Were you sleeping.
The reason why I don't like NPP is that they never accept their faults. What kind of people are these?
This kudalor man or whatever he calls himself, no wonder he accepted a fake degree from unrecognized university. Sha$llow minded fellow with a sha$llow and vissionless Jdm ruling Ghana. Its in only the ndc where u can see this ppl with fake degrees occupying big post. cuz the leader too does not read or take a cue interest in anything. Well simply cuz he does not merit the presidency, yet he kill someone to merit it. Posterity would soon be their Supreme court.
Kudalor will be the first to be sacked when the NDC is booted out of office. He himself may resign with alacrity. Ghana police has become like a menstrual pad... completely messed up!
NPP QUASEAFUO PARTY. NPP JIMIFUO KUO
cephas arthur is a damn liar, he claims guns were pointed at the police, false statement from an ndc hireing. His father and himself are well known ndc fanatics in nsawam.
Take a look at picture # 3 and you will see NPP people carrying guns. The goon in the green trousers has a pistol in his right hand and another NPP supporter wearing the white and blue T-shirt with his right hand raised has a gun in his left hand too. Looks like the one in the green T-shirt has a pistol too. The police should find these NPP goons and arrest them for unlawful possession of guns. ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Gun-shots-as-NPP-NDC-supporters-clash-at-Akufo-Addo-s-residence-486357?gallery=3
