CDD demands action against NPP Wassa Amenfi East PC for inciting violence against military
Dr John Osae-Kwapong, a research fellow at the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), has called for punitive measures to be taken against the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate (PC) for Wassa Amenfi East, following allegations of incitement.
Mr Frimpong is accused of rallying illegal miners, colloquially known as ‘galamseyers’, to resist military forces enforcing anti-galamsey laws.
A video that has gone viral shows Frimpong allegedly encouraging miners to confront police and military personnel accused of soliciting bribes from them.
Despite Frimpong’s denial of the allegations, asserting that his comments during a two-hour meeting with small-scale miners were misconstrued, he was apprehended and subsequently released on bail following an interrogation.
On Channel One TV’s “The Big Issue” on Saturday, Dr Osae-Kwapong indicated that the measures were important to show that the country condemned such acts.
“There has to be some consequences for it to show that we condemn these things,” he stated.
