Director of Communications for the Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye has raised concerns over what he describes as the alarming silence of government and the failure of law enforcement in the wake of violence that disrupted the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, July 12, Mr Aboagye condemned both the Ghana Police Service and senior government officials for failing to act decisively and for making what he called “reckless” public remarks in response to the events.
“There are things that I think should be done. There is a law that speaks against what transpired yesterday. The police had the responsibility to enforce that law they failed,” he said.
He further expressed disappointment in the government’s lack of response, stating, “There is a government who currently has the responsibility to ensure the safety of everybody. That government has not spoken.”
Highlighting what he sees as a dangerous dereliction of duty, Mr Aboagye warned that the situation has left many, including himself, feeling vulnerable.
“The government functionaries who have responsibilities of the state and are accountable to the state are making very reckless comments. I feel very unsafe,” he said.
“Until they come forward and give some comfort and assurance to the people of this country, nobody is safe including they themselves.”
