We have observed with serious concerns the attempt to destroy the pillars of
Ghana’s democracy by very selfish individuals in responsible positions. This
malicious attempt by surrogates of the governing New Patriotic Party has serious
dire consequences on our democracy thereby threatening the enviable peace of
this country.
Unfortunately, the history and events preceding this devilish attempt give reason
to us to believe that this action is a grand scheme collusion by the current
government and her collaborators to out the current Electoral Commissioner and
thereby destroying the most single important institution of our democracy and
also set a very bad precedence.
Our suspicions are fast becoming realities in the face of the disregard for the rule
of law that has characterized the so called lawful impeachment process. It is
more disgraceful to see the very institution that is empowered to uphold rule of
law violating the chairperson of the electoral commission’s fundamental Human
Rights. It is the highest level of umpatriotism for the governing New Patriotic
Party and her surrogates to hide behind state institutions to create chaos in this
country. The populace of Ghana took it easy when upon assumption of power in
January, the government arbitrary released some Ghanaians off their working
duties in some cases with very unbelievable reasons. We will not allow such
abuse of power to corrupt the single most respected state institution which has
earned a lot of respect and admiration from the region and beyond.ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH
We are very disappointed in civil society organizations, Religious groupings and
political parties who instead of speaking out and stand up for the defense of constitution, have gone surprisingly very mute and rather cowardly result to
whispering.
Joint Action for Civil Protection wants to assure the citizenry of our readiness to
defend and protect our democracy. As responsible citizens, we will discharge our
responsibility to this country enshrined in the 1992 constitution by the defending
the constitution with our last sweat and to the peril of our lives. ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH.
The current Tension growing up in the country is very avoidable. We call on all
civil society organizations, Political parties, Religious organization and the
international communities to wake up to the growing threat to the peace of this
country.
