Has The Time Now Come To Take Heads of Ghana's Security Agencies To The ICC?

Has the time now come to take the Military High Command, the IGP and the heads of all the other security agencies, to the International Criminal Court (ICC)? The National Democratic Congress (NDC), on behalf of the people of Ghana, ought to collaborate with organisations like the World Federalist Movement,  and the Institute for Global Policy, to hold the Military High Command, the IGP and the heads of all the security agencies, directly responsible, for the killings resulting from the deliberate  use of live ammunition, against those protesting against illegalities in the Techiman South constituency. Enough is enough.

The profession of arms is a noble one. By adopting a three-monkeys-stance, and allowing the recruitment into the National Security apparatus, of vicious myrmidon-thugs, from two privately-owned militias, the notorious Delta Force, and the Invincible Forces, who were allegedly kitted out in military and police uniforms, for the 2020 elections,  according to bush-telegraph sources, the Military High Command, the IGP and the heads of all the other security agencies, allowed the honour of their organisations to be prostituted, in the most egregious of fashions. Pity.

It is obvious that only international opprobium, today, will ensure that in future, those heading the Ghana Armed Forces, the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Immigration Service, the Ghana Prison Service, the Custom,  Excise and Preventitive Service, of the Ghana Revenue Authority, and the Ghana Fire Service, will act to prevent such atrocities from occurring, during presidential and parliamentary elections, by acting professionally, at all  material times.

Those heading those security agencies today, will be judged to have been on the wrong side of history,  by future generations. They will therefore be condemned, in the strongest possible terms, by Providence, for standing by, and allowing those in power, today, to commit such crimes against humanity,  merely to rig an election to enable them hang on to power.  

Yet, the New  Patriotic Party  (NPP), could have won this election,  easily, and, by a landslde margin, if they had acted resolutely, to root out high-level corruption,  as promised, during the campaign for the December 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections -  a promise which contributed a great deal to winning them power. 

Sadly, in the event, they ended up as the most corrupt regime, ever, thus far, in the history of the 4th Republic, despite the government being led by a personally incorruptible President, whose legacy, easily makes Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the next best most-effective-elected-leader, since the overthrow of the great President Nkrumah (of blessed memory), in 1966.  Shame on them.
