The President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has condemned assault by one of the vigilante groups of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Invincible Forces on members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The brutalities on NDC members followed during the change in government.
Some people believed to be members of the NPP raided and seized government installations and State assets amidst beating, killing and maiming of government workers and individuals.
The suspected NPP supporters who committed the atrocities argued that NDC members brutally assaulted them in 2009 and that it is their turn to be treated in the same measure.
But delivering the State of the Nation Address on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, the President said the assault marred the successes of the transition saying he does not subscribe to lawlessness.
According to him, he instructed the former Inspector General of Police (IGP) John Kudalor to arrest law breakers of irrespective of suspects political affiliations which his successor David Asante-Appeatu also acted upon it to bring situation under control.
‘Mr Speaker, certain incidents occurred during the transition period which are matters of concerns to me. And should be to every Ghanaian as has marred a dignified and successful transition. Wrong doing has no political colour and I do not subscribe to the lawlessness of political parties supporters, simply because their party has been elected into office…. I condemn all such conducts and I call on all political parties especially the NPP and NDC to ensure that this is the last time such an undignified acts occurring during our transition period,’ he entreated.
