Albert Kan Dapaah, the Minister of National Security, is concerned about what he perceives to be politicians’ lack of faith in the nation’s judicial system.
The National Security Minister claims that political actors’ pre-election speech on December 7th leaves a lot to be desired.
Albert Kan Dappah stated that politicians shouldn’t undermine the judiciary while speaking at an event in Accra.
“We may for the first time experience a situation where none of the major political parties will be willing to explore the courts to address their grievances.
“Indeed I have heard some senior people in the political space saying that, that they have lost faith in the courts’ ability to address their concerns when it comes to elections. So this can create a situation that can set the stage for chaos.”
“And it underscores the need for us to build a robust and transparent electoral system where results coming from same will be acceptable by all parties.”
“Ghanaians must also be aware of their responsibilities. They must not allow themselves to be used by politicians who lose elections. Peace is very expensive and sometimes we have to make sacrifices one time or the other to maintain it. So may nobody participate in violence. So those who lose, accept it peacefully,”
