Dr. Kwasi Anin, Security Anakyst
Dr. Kwasi Anin, security badyst, said the violence that has tainted the partial election of Ayawaso West Wuogon, which has just taken place, portends a danger to Ghana's security. .
The Director of the Faculty of Academic Affairs and Research of the International Peacekeeping Training Center Kofi Annan, Ghana, told Kwabena Prah Jnr (The Don) of Ghana Yensom in Accra on Friday, February 8, 2019: " Ayawaso taught us a lesson are on a dangerous and slippery slope to chaos.
"There are statutory security forces – police, immigration, customs, NADMO [National Disaster Management Organisation]and especially the armed forces. If you remove all these organizations and allow those who have engaged in violence in a democracy governed by respect for the law and respect for human rights and statutory institutions, you are almost declaring war on your own people.
"There are many questions to ask: where do these people come from? Who brought them? Where were they trained? How were they funded? Who do they report to?
Heavily armed National Security members have wounded supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the private residence of the NDC candidate, about an hour after the start of the by-election on Thursday, January 31, 2019.
Some civilians were also beaten, including MP Sam George. He was slapped in the fray under the eyes of some police officers.
The police, in a press release, said the statements of 16 victims of the shooting had been collected, adding that a statement form had been sent to Sam George so that he could take action required.
According to Dr. Aning, "vigilance is deteriorating," adding, "For security to work, there must be trust, there must be respect, there must be discipline."
He pointed out, however, that "there is so much suspicion, no one trusts anyone and that, therefore, problems that could have been solved without the intervention of security can not be solved without the police, especially among the political and economic elite. "
He said: "There is a huge gap between rhetoric and engagement practices to fight insecurity," noting that "we still have a long way to go."
