The National Organizer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has cautioned the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to desist from politicizing the issues of security in this country.
Speaking on Peace FM’s Krokokoo Morning Show, he stated that it is wrong to play politics with the recent incidents of criminal activity. According to him it is not right to create a certain impression that the security situation in this country has deteriorated such as never been seen before…”it is absolutely not true,” he said.
He recounted series of insecurity issues that happened in the previous administration saying; “On General news of December 6th Ecobank Abrepo branch Manager gun down, joyonline news 25th of July 2015 Ecobank Labone branch manager shot dead, 16th October 2016 joynews: Kumasi in shock over death of poplar journalist, Ghanaweb 31st December 2014: Abduction cases on the rise in Ghana, 3rd November 2014 Nkwanta North DCE murdered in cold blood…these are but a few I can mention so NDC should not create the impression that the current security situation in the country has never happened before.”
According to him NPP has done better in terms of security and said it is about time the country get results from the security agencies.
“Instead of us to apportion blame we must all be vigilant to report any crime issue to the nearest police station because we are our own security…,” he stressed.
He therefore encouraged the security agencies to step up and do more to protect the ordinary Ghanaian and also charged them to work together closely with their partners within to combat crime.

If voting during bye- election would attract gunfire, EC IPAC meeting is full of well armed security personnel. Can anyone argue that we are higher animals than monkeys. Monkeys carry their babies at their back and we are not different. 8 officers were executed for being corrupt yet a president will brag that corruption started with adam and eve, there are more corruption cases from #12 to galamsay, yet nothing is being done. Previous administration is no different. Everything is UPSIDE DOWN. I will prefer chiefs ruling the country with sub-districts instead of the bullshiit democrazy. Our chieftancy institutions worked far better than adopting constitution. Maybe a monkey could be elected in future since the difference is not too big
NPP has not done better, what are the performance indicators. if members of delta force can stop a law court proceedings and drag accused members away, is that improvement of security performance. If corrupt officials can organize to burn a medical warehouse for fear of being exposed. Yet these officials have not been prosecuted, is that performance improvement. I strongly believe we are lesser human beings as compared to the average white because our thinking, deeds, actions are just a little above monkey. development should be continuous and not stalled. Why would NPP leave completed housing project meant for general public with the excuse that there is corruption, yet people are looking for place to sleep. Do we use common sense or just that we are idiiooots and cant reason. A white guy said if you go to Ghana with a contract form to be signed the officials will only look at your skin colour and sign the agreement without reading. This applies to all parties. no wonder we are growing taller instead of wiser. Everything is politicised including toilets and whatever. I will suggest we vote for a lion in future as a president, at least the lion can bark
