General Secretary of the Peoples National Convention, Mr. Bernard Mornah says the security agencies must arrest the national Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress, Dr. Kwabena Adjei for making a definite claim that the main opposition New Patriotic Party is behind the recent Makola Number 2 Market.
If the national Chairman is definite in his pronouncement that this is done by the NPP, he should be picked up, Mr. Mornah told Radio XYZs News Analysis Programme on Saturday June 8, 2013.
Mr. Mornah said Mr. Kwabena Adjei should be questioned about the source of his information so that he could help the security services and investigators get to the bottom of the rising spate of fires at market squares in the national capital, Accra.
Mr. Adjei made the allegation on Thursday on a TV programme in Accra.
Though he failed to mention names of specific individuals to blame for the fire, Dr. Adjei was emphatic that the NPP cannot absolve itself from blame.
The PNCs General Secretary wondered why Dr. Adjei is still walking free despite making such a serious claim.
In other jurisdictions you will not wait. [Is it] because he is the national chairman of a political party? He is giving you leading information that could lead to the arrest of the dangers that our nation is facing. What are we waiting for? Politics again? Mr. Mornah wondered.
Im worried that all the time we make these pronouncements and walk away, because its easy these days to just get up [and talk], everybody talks, Mr. Mornah bemoaned.
He said: Im disturbed because most of us are decent. We want to have politics; we want to do politics; we want to do it decently; we want to talk about the issues and not engage in personal attacks.
Its possible the national Chairman has some information. Will the security agencies go pick him up so that he can help with their investigations? That will be nice; It will show some level of professionalism of our security agencies; if it is not,it sends a strong signal that you just dont sit [in] your bedroom and come and make any reckless statement.
