The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been asked to cease playing politics with the state of insecurity bedevilling the nation, especially on the issue of kidnapping.
The two leading political parties, the opposition NDC and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), in the last couple of days, have been engaged in a running battle over which political party the alleged kidnappers of two Canadian girls recently rescued, are affiliated to.
The NDC, after police arrested the suspected kidnappers, claim they have empirical evidence that four of the suspects belonged to the NPP. They alleged that one of the suspects, Seidu Mba has been seen in the company of some kingpins of the NPP.
This allegation has however been countered by the ruling party insisting that Seidu Mba rather belonged to the NDC.
Meanwhile, General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has vowed that the NDC will not cease politicizing the arrest of the Canadian kidnappers.
He says the politicization of criminals was started by the ruling party, and wonders "why should they (NDC) stop when the criminals involved are known NPP Delta Force members".
But some well-meaning Ghanaians, including the host of Peace FM morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwami Sefa Kayi, have condemned the two political parties for playing politics with the kidnapping saga. Click to read
Speaking to this on Tuesday's edition of 'Kokrokoo', the Member of Parliament for Subin constituency, Eugene Boakye Antwi said "if the intention of the NDC is to link kidnapping to the NPP so they can win the 2020 election, they should have a serious rethink".

The Government should be very mindful of what Dr. Danso said-warning about the possibility of the various, notorious criminal acts in Ghana today being instigated, so as to make the Government look bad and castigated as incompetent.That Nigerian Prof could easily be bought to do what he did. If you take your own counsel dispassionately, you will realize that NDC as an opposition Party today, can never win election in Ghana on issues without applying foul means. The notorious, rampant and baseless attacks on the EC give course of alarm. Then, I have not heard NDC discuss policies based on her Party-Philosophy and tradition. Aside being mischievous, fabricating her own lies based on her own imaginations and feeding on them for propaganda purposes.
Interesting,they come up with new agenda when the table is turning against them.It was going good and well for npp, when the wind was against ndc in the kidnapping scare,for that reason it will help the npp to win 2020 because they were able to manufacture kidnap stories and chargers against Ofosu Ampofo and they were winning the argument, now that the real kidnappers have been found to members of npp,Ndc can't win elections with kidnapping.That's really interesting
Interesting. Now crime is not a party issue. I agree with him. All that i want is that he will be principled like this if he happens to be in opposition. My brother Kwami should also be of the same view as during the NDC era, he did not have this posture. Principles, Principles, Principles.
