Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Majority Leader in the Ghanaian Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, urges the two main political parties, the NDC and the NPP, to tackle decisively the chancre of partisan militias.
The astute politician and government affairs leader in Parliament, who is in his fifth term as a deputy of the Suame constituency in the Ashati region, asks them to be realistic in their considerations and to propose at the table of concrete solutions this negative political phenomenon.
"This impunity must stop. It could go from "boot bomb to bomb," he hinted.
He recounted some incidents in the country's electoral electoral history, which testify to the fact that governments and political parties have always been the beneficiaries of the activities of political vigilance groups.
He also referred to acts of violence occurring on both sides of the country's borders in neighboring countries such as Burkina Faso, for example, which are terrorist in nature and could spread in the country at any time.
L & # 39; Hon. Kye Mensah Bonsu urges that political interests be removed in order to put the country in a position to face any eventuality.
"The conflict is close to us and if we do not prepare, we run the risk of catching ourselves unprepared," he warned.
The minister said that during a media dialogue program on the threat of political vigilance in the country organized by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs.
The show, which brings together clever media practitioners, editors, political debate broadcasters and captains of media organizations, offers information to enrich the the contents of the draft Law on Vigilance and Related Offenses currently before Parliament under the theme "Limiting political vigilance: the taking of the media".
Although minorities in Parliament have also expressed concern about the threats posed by political vigilance in the country, they have officially declared that they do not believe that the solution to be adopted is to legislate.
Speaking on behalf of minority leader Haruna Iddrissu, James Agalga, MP for Builsa North, said there are already laws that can be invoked to fight the threat.
He shares the conviction that a new law will not change much if the political will to tackle this problem is lacking.
The legislator added that, "Whatever the case may be, the bill in its current form must undergo some modifications to pbad the test of time."
