Nobody should be allowed to threaten Ghana's security - Pratt

Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has urged security services in the country to enforce the country’s laws and ensure that any outlaws are brought to book.

Speaking on Radio Gold’s ‘Alhaji Alhaji’, the Insight editor; also a member of the Socialist Forum, issued a strong warning to the section of the public who are prepping themselves to instigate riot in the nation, following the verdict by the Supreme Court Judges.

According to him, the security agencies should enforce the law “rigorously without fear or favour” on “rascals and vagabonds” who are interested in causing mayhem in the aftermath of the court ruling.

To him, the nation should not be taken to ransom by the actions of any group.

“Why should we go on our knees begging them?...Why should this country be on its knees because misguided adventurists are threatening to break the law…What is the purpose of having a Police Service, of having the Armed Forces, of having the National Security…?”

He also wondered why some political figures in the country seem to feel jittery by the presence of the security services who according to him, are only demonstrating their “muscles” to prove to Ghanaians their readiness to combat any unanticipated incidents after the Justices sitting on the election petition give their ruling.

“Nobody, whether they are presidential candidates or ex-presidential candidates or party general secretaries or whatever, should be allowed to take the peace and security of this country for granted and should be allowed to threaten us,” Kwesi Pratt warned.
