The Minority in Parliament has strongly condemned alleged attacks on national installations, as well as threats and assaults against civil servants and judicial officers perceived to be affiliated with the previous government.
In a press briefing, the Deputy Minority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei, called on President John Mahama to take immediate action by directing law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute those involved in the post-election violence and vandalism.
The Minority criticized the establishment of the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) committee by the President, alleging that its creation has emboldened some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to engage in acts of destruction, including the vandalism of state properties and attacks on state institutions.
Patricia Appiagyei accused the leadership of the NDC of fostering a culture of impunity that has empowered party supporters to target former government appointees.
She described the reported incidents at institutions such as the Tema Development Corporation (TDC), Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA), Tema Port, Kotoka International Airport, Koforidua National Service Secretariat, and the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) as “shameful.”
The Deputy Minority Leader emphasized that the President bears the responsibility to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, irrespective of their political affiliations.
The Minority is urging swift action to restore order and prevent further violence.
