The director general of the Bureau of Professional Standards of the police warned that the country was sitting on a time bomb if political activism was not stopped immediately.
COP Nathan Kofi Boakye warned that there would be an explosion in 2020 when the country will go to the polls to elect deputies as well as a new president if nothing is done to remedy the situation .
He said this by uttering what can be described as a simple speech about political vigilance and Ghanaian democracy at the conference and the New Year's conference being held at the University of Ghana in Accra on Wednesday.
"Yesterday there was the training of oriental bambas and, because of the vigilantism-related business spirit, you will hear about [groups with different funny names] and these groups are not loyal to any of the parties.
"I personally know some of them and they are not good," said COP Kofi Boakye.
The former commander of the Ashanti region said he found it confusing when people wondered what the police response was to vigilantism.
"The solution is clear with regard to political violence, but if it happens against another party, that's what we see inside the parties and that's where the problem lies. ", did he declare.
According to him, the police do not tell the truth because members of political parties do not want to wash their dirty laundry in public. This, he said, makes their work difficult because in most cases there is not much to do.
"Vigilance is something that is a clear and present threat to our democracy and the situation is getting worse … if we do not recover, the year 2020 and beyond will be explosives that we will not be able to contain.
"The government gives us the necessary equipment, but even if you have all this equipment and you stop people, they slap them all the way down and tell them go and do not sin anymore, it will continue, "he lamented.
COP Kofi Boakye also expressed his disappointment at the political labels placed on men and women in uniform just to protect their own uniform, a trend he described as disturbing, claiming that this could lead to division within of the service base.
