'Suspended' General Secretary of the People's National Congress (PNC), Atik Mohammed, has slated President Akufo-Addo and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) David Asante-Apeatu for being dormant in the fight against crime in the country.
According to him, the right to lament over incidents of violence and crime doesn't lie with President Akufo-Addo.
Making submissions on the recent attack on the Kwabenya District Police Headquarters where suspected armed robbers stormed the station freeing their colleagues from cell and gunning down a Police Officer, Atik Mohammed wondered what the President is doing to curb the situation.
Expounding on the issue, he stated that he believes the recent spate of criminal attacks stem from the actions of vigilante groups that sprung up in the first year of the Akufo-Addo administration.
He noted that criminals have been emboldened due to the way the President handled the issue.
Atik wants the President to know that "when it comes to issues of security, he laments just like any one of us. The enterprise of lamentation belongs exclusively to Ghanaians. He’s not a shareholder. We have the right to lament. The President isn’t a shareholder of that enterprise. We expect him to take action”.
Touching on the IGP, he said the "IGP doesn’t seem to be proactive. It’s unfortunate but that’s the situation. I mean you don’t wait to do firefighting. Your intelligence should be up there so that you can prevent this before it even happens.”

If you look consider the current state of the PNC, and observe how this Atik and Mornah chracters carry themselves on radio and TV, you begin to wander where the disconnect is. They seem to know everything in politics but see the miserable state of their party. All they know is to blow hot air while their Ambassador at Large is also busy expelling them from the party. Funny bunch of jokers!
WANING::!!!Every refugee receives passport given by United Nations. Never on this earth refugee receive the passport of that country except Ghana. Do our parlimantarians know law regarding refugees? Even refugee have to stay a while at least 5 years before he/she can apply for that country's nationality. If accepted then he/she can apply for travel documents such as passport. Therefore the whole thing concern these Guantanamo 2 is wrong and fault. They have to apply their refugee status from Ministry of Interior and if granted then 5 years later as for citizenship. It will be totally wrong if the government fail to follow this refugee or international law. Ghanaians are watching oo. We live in Europe and this is what we go through or the process we follow.How can Ghana be so loose and cheap because of few money. Look what happened to our fellow brothers in Libya and Arab countries like Quatar etc.
ALL DIE BE DIE ABI?
You have to register it and hold the copyright to this work if it is truly yours.we shall use it pa pa.The enterprise of lamentation is the exclusive right of Ghanaians. BUT GHAHAFOU PE BIG ENGLISH SO SO RHETORICS NO ACTION.
For how long is the president going to be away? Just as we don't swear in the vice-president when the president leaves we need not swear in the speaker of parliament. Swearing in must only take place when the president and vice president become incapacitated, die, resign, or are removed removed from office.
I will largely agree with you on this!
Well done Atik - the Majority Shareholder in Ghana Lamentation Company Limited. You are such an apology of a social commentator on this issue.
