The Director of Faculty of Academic Affairs and Research at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) has described as laughable claims by the police that there is no cloud of insecurity in Ghana.
Prof. Kwesi Aning said the dismissive posture by the Police Service only compounds the insecurity, creating fear and panic among the citizens.
Speaking to Samson Lardy Anyenini on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday and witnessed by GhanaFeed, he said that the experience and observations of citizens are key early warning indicators that can contribute to the intelligent assessment of the various security services.
“When the security services and their political masters refuse to listen and to engage; that is why Wa, Ejura and Sene military brutalities have happened. We have to ask ourselves how do we create a conducive environment where we can engage and dialogue.”
“The citizens who are raising their voice, those who are complaining are all driven by one aim; we want to partner and collaborate in a manner that will contribute to a functional stable society.
“A denial, and I think the police spokeswoman two weeks ago denied there was insecurity in this country. That is laughable,” he said.
