We have witnessed countless instances of \nharassment, intimidation, criminality, lawlessness and plain terrorism \nby hoodlums operating at his behest. Yet, he has not found it fit to \nprosecute the blood-thirsty bandits who have carried out these crimes \nagainst innocent citizens of Ghana, but is quick to sanction the abuse \nof prosecutorial powers to intimidate opponents on the flimsiest of \npremises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can a President fail so outrageously to act against terrorists belonging to his party who<br>\nattacked a Court in Kumasi and pretend that a tape of dubious \nauthenticity in which innocuous commentary is made, can form the basis \nof any serious prosecution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What kind of thinking went into this frivolous prosecution when the \nPresident\u2019s Spiritual acolyte, Owusu Bempah, walks free after attacking a\n radio station with armed thugs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does the President reconcile his refusal to prosecute the \nterrorists who unleashed violence against innocent citizens of Ghana at \nthe Ayawaso West Wuogon, with this victimization of our officials?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are also outraged, that the Ghana Police Service, has become a \nlaughing stock and are willing to be made a plaint tool in the political\n persecution of Akufo-Addo\u2019s opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wish to make clear, that contrary to the Akufo Addo government\u2019s \nbelief that the maltreatment of our members, hasty media trials and the \npeddling of outrageous falsehoods against them will meet with a docile \nparty, we will take every reasonable step to assert the innocence of \nour&nbsp; members and insist on respect for their fundamental human rights.&nbsp; \nWe demand fair and lawful treatment for all our members and an immediate\n end to this harassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite our strong disagreement with this partisan prosecution, we \ndemand fairness in the judicial process and it is our expectation that \nhistorical hostility to the NDC, whether real or perceived, will play no\n role in the determination of all cases and that only the facts of each \ncase, the position of the law and the objective assessment of same will \ninform any outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we assure President Akufo-Addo that his hypocrisy and quest \nto muscle the opposition through the misuse of security agencies and \nmanipulation of judicial processes will fail.

We are comforted \nthat his disastrous performance as President will lead to his dismissal \nfrom office by the people of Ghana at the 2020 elections. This will \nafford the incoming NDC government the opportunity to right his wrongs \nand restore confidence and integrity into state institutions while \npromoting a climate of freedom and respect for all shades of opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, we invite all well meaning Ghanaians to join the NDC in solidarity to defend the<br>\nfundamental human rights of our citizenry, during this moment of \nunbridled political persecution by the Akufo Addo led NPP government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signed<br>\nHon.
