President Nana Akufo-Addo must not take Ghana backwards, ex-Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev Prof Emmanuel Martey has cautioned, saying: “Ghanaians are watching”.
Condemning the mayhem perpetrated by pro-government groups like Delta Force and Invincible Forces, Prof Martey said their action is a “national shame.”
Right after Nana Akufo-Addo was sworn into office in January, the Invincible Forces went on the rampage and seized some state institutions and also sacked perceived opposition elements.
The Delta Force in Kumasi also harassed the President’s Regional Security appointee and also stormed a court to free 13 of their colleagues who were standing trial for the assault.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony at the Christ Apostolic College in Kumasi at the weekend, Prof Martey said : “The methods of the pro-violent vigilante groups like the Invisible forces, Delta Force, Bolga bull dogs, Western Crocodiles and all the rest with their unorthodox modus operandi have doubtlessly been a severe dent on the democratic credentials of our country and the earlier the government puts a halt to this national shame and puts damage control strategies in place, the better for our young democracy.”
He said even though the Akufo-Addo government is less than 100 days old, Ghanaians were nonetheless watching his every move.
“Minimise your mistakes, violence is violence no matter who commits it, violence is violence no matter who perpetuates it, and must be condemned in no uncertain terms. Ghana must not be taken years or decades back, we must move rather forward into freedom and justice, progress and development in order to bring into fruition the vision of our political forebearers,” Rev Martey said.

You have a very big & smelly mouth ! Nana-Addo & the NPP have certainly messed up on this delta & co non sense but your mouth is equally big & smelly looking at ur contributions on this platform . You sometimes sound like a crazed monkey
WEll Said ; Mr Martey ; Nana Addo is going on a slippery slope with certain dubious elements around him in the NPP because everybody who thought he could lead and clear the country of wrong doings is begining to think otherwise ; Nana Addo is not a leader and his desire is to satisfy everybody who comes to him with a problem ; he seems to think being a good president means dividing political appointments to kriminals and aiding corruption ;VERY DISAPOINTED IN THE MAN !!!!!!!ULESS MAN !!!!!; how do you appoint a person like kan dapaah as the security minister ; galamasey is out of control ;vigilante groupa are running rampage in the country ; drug are been exported from Kotoka airport ; WHAT ARE THE ARMY DOING AT THEIR BARACKS THEY SHOULD BE DEPLOYED INTO THE ***barred word*** TO CHECK THESE GALAMASEY ; ALL LICENSES SHOULD REMOVED AND SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ; ALL CHINESE OPERATION SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED ; how can these Chinese be allowed to carry arms and who gave them the permits to carry arms in Ghana ; would Ghanaians be allowed to carry arms in China ? NANA ADDO WAKE UP BECAUSE GHANA IS SLIPPING BACKWARDS FAST !!!!!!!OTHERWISE MASSA KEN AGYEPONG FOR PRESIDENT 2020 !!!!!
