....not to be removed -Peace Seekers
Captain Thomas Theophilos (Rtd), Spokesman of the Peace Keepers International on Thursday said Justice Kweku Amuah Sekyi, Chairman of the National Reconciliation Commission (NRC) only needed to apologise to the public for making an off record statement which the microphone picked at one of the sittings of the NRC.
He was speaking at a press conference in Accra on the process of the NRC in Accra, where he referred to the South African example where Archbishop Desmond Tutu an arch enemy of apartheid ended up chairing the country's universally acclaimed Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Captain Theophilos said, " let us as people give peace and national reconciliation a chance instead of using parochial and partisan views as spokes in the wheel of national reconciliation."
He said indeed if people were to be punished willy-nilly for every comment they made or action they took it would be that not only many of those who appeared before the NRC would walk away to the peace and comfort of their homes.
Captain Theophilos appealed to Prof Evan Atta Mills, Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to stop making statements that were meant to discredit the NRC.
Captain Theophilos said his association welcomed with open arms and much relief the establishment of the NRC.
