The ongoing attacks on the civilian population across the country is getting pre-eminence looking at the recent brutality at Garu and Tempane and the fresh attacks by police with an identify officer around the enclave of Sege and Ada is very unfortunate and bizarre. The call by the constituency to the Inspector General of Police has also fall on death year.
Richard Kumado Security Consultant and Fraud expert said on the Adekyee Mu Nsen morning show on Ahotor 92.3 FM hosted by Citizen Kofi Owusu in Accra.
The recent incident of attacks of civilian in respect to Ada Songhor salt mining which has the state backing from the New Patriotic Party has no contractual document with parliament of Ghana.
The consortium of Electrochem Ghana Limited, has secured a concession of 41,000 acres at Ada Songor to produce 1,000,000 metric tons of salt per annum to supply to local and export markets.
In the medium term, the output will be increased substantially and part of it used to feed a chlor-alkali plant for the production of caustic soda and other chemical products. With this huge ownership of this concession in depriving the communities from their local economy for livelihood is unfortunate and bizarre without any proper agreement from the parliament of Ghana.
Richard Kumado believes the unfortunate illegal exploitation of the local economy must stop. And entreat the Members of Parliament for Ada and Sege, to use parliament and legal means to fight the course of the constituents.
Speaking to the Garu and Tempane brutalities it’s very sad the government has mislead the public by asking the Minister of Defense to address the issues and brief parliament on the incident. He believes the bus stops at the door of ministry of interior to come out to address the country and parliament what accounts for this barbaric attacks to a section of the community in the Upper East.
He further stated that there is a need to advocates and put legal structures in place to arrest the trends of civilian attacks going under the guise of national security.
Legally he appeals to the state to open up to recruit regional state attorneys in collaboration with the regional coordinating council to fight for the rights of the citizens at all levels throughout the country.
He challenge individual lawyers and the Members of Parliament to take this matter up to the courts and assume strong advocacy in the parliament to put the minister of interior and the defense to be responsible and accountable to any unlawful attacks that will be met to any civilian population in the country.
Above all Richard Kumado said the police institution at the centre of some of the unlawful attacks, the Inspector General of Police must be summon by law to answer what went into this chain of command that may arise from this unfortunate incidents of civilian abuse of their tights in the course of their duties.
