The pelting of the residence of the flag bearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) with stones by some members of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Sunday must be condemned, the Chair of the National Peace Council, Prof Emmanuel Asante, has said.
“It must be condemned. It is condemnable to pelt the residence of a prominent individual with stones,” Prof Asante told Chief Jerry Forson on Accra100.5FM’s Ghana Yensom programme on Monday, 14 November, in reaction to clashes between supporters of the two parties in front of Nana Akufo-Addo’s Nima residence following the alleged stone-throwing incident which occurred as the two parties embarked on their respective Keep Fit activities.
“The provocation must be condemned and the police must take action immediately and arrest the event organisers and let them help with investigations,” Prof Asante said.
Police have confirmed that there were warning shots fired by the bodyguards of Mr Akufo-Addo following the stone-throwing incident.
Prof Asante cautioned: “We have only Ghana as our country. We must not resort to self-defence at all,” adding: “The police must act swiftly on some of these impunities.
“I’ll also plead with the political parties. I will expect that the leadership of the political parties will stand and condemn such acts and hand over to the police their members who perpetrated such impunity.”

You are a big dis grace to the office you claim to chair. How can you give this boggus one sided condemination. At least follow what happend, listen to the accounts of both NPP and NDc as well as that of the police and condem accross board . This selective way of condeming in strong words when it affects the Ndc is unacceptable . Please be quick to listern and slow to talk.
