NDC Descends On Kudalor
24.08.2016 LISTEN

From Isaac Akwetye-Okunor, Koforidua
The Deputy Eastern Regional Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Hackmann Kabore has descended heavily on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), John Kudalor, for failing  to visit victims of the recent Donkorkrom riot.

The IGP on Monday visited the place to have first-hand information about what led to the mayhem, but failed to visit the victims, who were sprayed with bullets by the police, during the mayhem at the hospital. He, however, met the chiefs, opinion leaders, police personnel and their wives.

The Deputy Eastern Regional Organizer of the NDC described the conduct of the IGP as   unfortunate and that it was a clear show of immaturity on the part of the person, who is considered as a father of civilians in the country.

Speaking on some radio stations in Koforidua and in a follow up interview with The Chronicle, Kabore argued that Mr John Kudalor had shown a clear sign of arrogance and that as an IGP, he did not care about the lives of the injured victims.

The NDC guru could also not fathom why the IGP chose to visit his men and their wives but deliberately ignored the victims. To him, the IGP, as a peace maker, should have visited the victims at the hospital for them  to know that though they were shot by the police, the latter is still a peace maker and that they (police) are not at war with the civilians.

Mr Kabore also described as below the belt, the decision by the IGP to withdraw his men fromthe Donkokrom and its surrounding areas and called on the Police Administration to immediately rescind the decision.

When contacted, the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, Supt Cephas Arthur confirmed that the IGP met the chiefs, police personnel and their wives and the opinion leaders, which included the Imams and the clergy.

According to Arthur, the IGP had a long schedule when he visited the area, even though he would not ascribe his boss' failure to visit the victims to that.
