Ghana’s Election 2020 risks losing credibility to chaos

Ghana has been one of the most peaceful countries in the world, if not the most peaceful. When we point out to peaceful democratic elections. But, Ghana Election 2020 risks losing credibility

But few months to election 2020, a lot of issues popped out before now, of which it was not pleasant for such a high-class democratic nation which all Countries around its borders are looking up to, to build a great platform for peaceful and credible democratic elections, pointing out to the bye-election at Ayawoso West Wougon, a fracas which caused a lot of panic waves throughout the country, political parties fighting for cheap political gains by teaming up men to form militia groups that will combat other the citizens.

Ghana had the greatest opportunity to disband all political party militias, but the government and the stakeholders made it slip off our tips to the drainage line.

The president spoke extensively about disbanding the Militia groups formed by his own party, the New Patriotic Party, and the biggest and closest opposition rival the National Democratic Congress only to sign paper works that is inactive to me.

In the history of the Country, we have had countless registration exercises non and I mean non started with the killing of innocent young men and women (citizens )in the country, why did year’s registration start on such a bloody and shameful act of killing a young man whom only God knows what he would have offered the nation.

Look, I mean the militias are operating and it is no secret that they are active and are unstoppable when too much power is given to people who are clueless they act short and become a treat to the very citizens they live with.

Just yesterday, a member of parliament who is supposed to make sure the people she represented in parliament and are safe with good security measures fired a gunshot and she only could give fragile excuses.

Hon Mavis Hawa Koomson, the Member of Parliament for the Awutu Senya East Constituency, has admitted firing gunshots at a registration centre in the area.

There was a fracas at a registration centre in the Awutu Senya East constituency on Monday, July 20, 2020, which led to gunshots being fired and motorbikes being burnt.

With some media houses reporting that the Electoral Commission (EC) officials fled the scene following an attack.

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) instantly accused Hawa Koomson of being behind the violence in the area.

On Accra based Adom Fm, this Morning Hawa Koomson subsequently confessed on that she fired the warning shot in self-defense.

Are we safe? We need to be serious with this thing because Rwanda started with same signs, Ivory Coast our neighboring country started with same signs, ask People from Sierra Leone like myself and you will love to hate conflict, Ghana was built on a peaceful foundation but if and if no care is taken we could end up being the next Rwanda of which I pray will not come to pass.

The Nation peace Council and the National House of Chiefs with the Clergy should get up the heat waves blowing towards the coming Election 2020 is strange and could damage the country’s reputation.
