In a country where the security system seems compromised by the past and present government, it has become thus irrelevant in dealing with state issues pertaining to the murder of Ghanaians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\n most of our leaders do mainly is to interfere with the work of the \npolice and the courts in as much as he\/she finds himself in government. \nIt is not supposed to work that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few days after the gruesome murder of Ahmed Hussein-Suale<\/a> on Wednesday 16th, we keep pointing accusing fingers at some individuals as been the prime suspects to the recent murder. We obstruct justice by diverting the attention and focus of the police by so doing. Surprisingly, the two main political parties, as usual, have started making their usual politics with the entire issue and I know it wouldn\u2019t stop but we will keep making propaganda and politics out of the entire issue and that is what we do and kill investigations from arriving at a reasonable conclusion, thereby leaving the murder case unsolved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite unfortunate is the comment made by a key member of the NDC who at the funeral of Ahmed Hussein Suale\n pointed accusing fingers and instructed for the arrest of an individual\n the police have yet not come to a conclusion in their investigations \non. The entire Party, however, is also reported to have issued a statement calling for the arrest of the same individual. Though it is political\n propaganda, two implications can be drawn from such unfortunate \ncomments; (A) it interferes and is liable of obstructing the ongoing \ninvestigations by the police and secondly (B) it is also liable of \ninstigating the family of the deceased against the one accused (based on\n propaganda). I think our leaders do this nation a great disservice\n when they use such unfortunate incidences as an avenue for political \npropaganda forgetting that the most important thing to do is to tighten \nthe nation\u2019s security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n the year 2015, May 20th, the Upper East Regional chairman of the New \nPatriotic Party, Adams Mahama (Late), was attacked with acid poured on \nhim in his own car if I very much remember. We did the same by playing politics without addressing that this nation requires a strong security system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I keep saying\n if we had working security cameras (CCTV) installed in the streets, \nwouldn\u2019t it have been easy retrieving footages and to know easily who \npoured the acid on the Honourable member or who hired him in arriving at\n a reasonable conclusion. There have been countless murders in our \ncountry which is worth investigating and that requires no interference \nfrom social media and politicians. On February 9th, 2016, the murderer \nof the Abuakwa North MP, J.B Danquah Adu (Late) wouldn\u2019t have been \ncaught if not for his move to selling the mobile phones he stole after \nstabbing the MP. If there existed strong security systems like \neffectively working CCTV cameras, footages would have been taken and the\n suspect picked up for interrogation within the shortest possible time. \nRecent is the Murder of the Manager of Tema Port public affairs, \nJosephine Asante who was stabbed in her bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point in this article is that\n it appears the perpetrators of these heinous acts are taking advantage \nof the nation\u2019s weak security systems perhaps. I urge us to take such \nincidents seriously devoid of politics because it can happen to anyone. \nWe must do our very best in strengthening our security systems as a \nnation; if possible, let\u2019s begin my installing CCTV cameras in the big supermarkets and every street. Cameras to capture every corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\n should be a collective responsibility because we don\u2019t expect the \ngovernment to install security cameras in our homes. As individuals, we \ncan also take that responsibility of safeguarding our lives and \nproperties by installing same in our homes. I think this would help put \nfear in robbers and the killers and curb the rate of murder witnessed in\n the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because you might not know who is planning evil against you. Take charge of your life, let\u2019s allow the systems to work and stop obstructing justice with political interference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
