National Communication Officer for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi has called for the head of Special Development Initiatives Minister, Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson for the shooting incident at Kasoa registration centre.

According to him, if President Akufo-Addo has conscience in the fight against vigilantism, it is time to act by sacking the Awutu-Senya East lawmaker as a Minister of Special Development Initiatives to serve as deterrent and his commitment to clamp down criminality in the country.

Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Sammy Gyamfi claims it has gotten out of hands the lawlessness that President Nana Akufo-Addo is supervising in the country as there have been many killings, tortures, chaos and mayhem executed by government officials and some state security officers who have sworn allegiance to the NPP government.

“We thought that the way we condemned the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election incident, it will never happen again. We also thought that as the President said he has passed Anti-vigilantism Law, the operations of Delta Forces and Invincible Forces have come to an end but we didn’t know they are just about to start their criminality,” he slammed.

To him, the criminalities of the NPP Vigilante groups have escalated due to the fact that nothing happened to those who caused atrocities at the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election when the Emile Short Commission suggested to the Akufo-Addo government.

The NDC, however, in the words of Sammy Gyamfi has sent a message to President Akufo-Addo not to set free the Minister of Special Development Initiatives, Mavis Hawa Koomson in relations to her crime at the registration centre if he still has the interest of the nation at heart.

“We sent a message to President Akufo-Addo relative to Mavis Hawa Koomson, Minister for Special Development Initiatives, a Member of Parliament of Awutu-Senya East, that if the President still has his nation at heart and think of the wellbeing of this country and what is happening, if he has conscience, we are appealing to his conscience that this time around, he should act,” he stated.

He stressed that “the President should not use his clearing agency to shield those who commit crime; enough is enough because pastors are calling for the dismissal of Hawa Koomson. Every voice of conscience is making that call because what the woman did was criminal which we must not condone”.
