Ghana’s Constitution is a “Tamed” Constitution.

This is what can happen to a country that has a “Tamed” Constitution that claims to be protecting his people against lawlessness. Since 1979, Ghanaians are living in a lawlessness country where our Constitution left alone their National Security cannot protect their citizens. The genesis of violence, lawlessness and disrespectful attitude towards elders in higher positions and institutions started from that meaningless military era. With their deeds, they succeeded in “Taming” our Constitution by forcefully enacting an “Indemnity clause” in it to make it powerless and undemocratic.

Their aim of enacting this unlawful indemnity clause was to protect certain individuals who took part in the coupe, and not to protect all its citizens. The evil character they sowed at that time is what Ghanaians are reaping today. It is on records that, when a citizen steals food, he/she will be sentenced to not less than 10 (Ten years) imprisonment by those corrupt Supreme and High Court Judges whiles at the same time, prominent leaders who have the opportunity to steal millions of Dollars from the national coffers will be set free.

Today, out of this indiscipline character, we have been witnessing of violent groups calling themselves: Delta Force, Invisible Forces, Bamba Boys, Kandaha, Azorga Boys etc. whiles these Judges at the Supreme Court are tight lipped. Where are the opinion leaders, where are the National Security, where are the Christian Council leaders, where are the Judicial Council, where are the Chiefs, where are the Pentecostal leaders and the Islamic leaders? They are all tight lipped because most of them are affiliated to the political party in power. They become active when their party is not in power. That is where you hear them condemning the party in power they don’t belong to. They have no clue about how such violent groups can be banned in Ghana; neither do they have any clue as to how they can create jobs for the people.

These jobless criminals are allowed to take the country for a ride because President Nana Akufo Addo during his campaigning in 2015-2016 told his supporters that, “If the security cannot protect you, you should protect yourself”. He went on to say that: “Even in Atiwa, they showed them something small”. How could such a reckless statement come from a presidential candidate who is lawyer, if he has not detected that, Ghana’s Constitution and its National Security are weak and cannot be trusted? Today his own people he nurtured are showing him something small against him in Kumasi. Is it not because the Constitution and the 3 (Three) arms of government has failed to make the National Security apparatus paramount, independent and has all the powers invested in them to protect its citizens without fear or favour? In which part of the Constitution demands the registration of any so-called vigilante groups in the country to ensure that, their activities are monitored? Who are these vigilante people and where they live in the country? With what powers can our Supreme Court use to barn these groups from gaining roots in this country?

Who are the sponsors of these jobless criminals, if not the same NDC and NPP political parties who claims on daily bases that, they are elected by the innocent, powerless and deprived people to develop the country? Which law in the Constitution is protecting the average citizen? Where do these criminal groups get their strength from? Which state security dares to deal with such criminals in the watch of these visionless political parties?

Where is the IGP who was appointed by President Nana Akufo Addo of NPP? Where is the Ashanti Regional police commander? What has the Attorney General, the BNI and Supreme Court Judges has to say about the macho men numbering about 100 who are reported to have stormed the offices of the security coordinator and, forcibly threw him out and destroyed properties in the offices saying that, they do not recognise the appointment made by President Nana Akufo Addo? Where was the then ex President Agyekum Kuffuor´s National Security, the Police and the Army, when Naa Yaa a paramount Chief in the Northern Region was brutally beheaded by the same vigilante group of criminals during his reign? Where were the opinion leaders, where were the National Security, where were the Christian Council leaders, where were the Judicial Council, where were the Chiefs, where were the Pentecostal leaders and the Islamic leaders when this heinous crime took place?

Up to date, the National Security has not been able to identify the perpetrators who caused this heinous crime. This is a testimony of what we call “Selected justice” What could have been the faith of Ghanaians if this crime has happened to any Ashanti or Accra Chief? For fear of intimidation by the so-called Vigilante forces, present and past governments and National Security leaders have their lips tightened. These political parties NDC and NPP in Ghana must grow. They have no moral values. They should be ashamed of themselves if they claim they think they can build a democratic country with such character traits. A true democratic country does not condone nor connive with such lawlessness attitude of their citizens.

Did I hear Henry Quartey, Deputy Interior Minister-designatepromising to put severe sanctions against members of the NPP-affiliated vigilante groups called Delta Force and Invincible Forces, following last Friday’s attack? During his interview, he also promised to deal with the activities of all other vigilante groups in the country threatening the rule of law and the country’s peace. A sound-minded person may ask the honourable minister that, with what powers can he use to arrest and prosecute those criminals? This is just a joke. Has he the balls to sentence those vigilante groups of his own NPP party in the watch of the current President? Our dear designate minister should not think most of the Ghanaians are fools and short-sighted.

The political parties NPP and NDC are nursing similar vigilante forces that took Rwanda at ransom. We should not forget those who nursed and sponsored the vigilante group called Boko Haram in Nigeria. The days of our “Tamed” National Constitution are counted. God have mercy on these wicked and visionless leaders in Ghana.

Fellow Ghanaians, I leave this action of our helpless leaders to your judgment.

Thank you.
