In this country, people have a way of putting less important issues above important issues, and then further put politics on top, and then the matter is made look foolish.
I don’t see how an allegation of a president using national security to stage a robbery attack on an ordinary citizen makes anyone safe and enthused.Â
The three, of us Elikem Kotoko Issifu Seidu Kudus Gbeadese, and I have shown no interest in whom the president chooses to have an intimate relationship. Others may care much about that.Â
Our concern is on the abuse of office and the human rights abuse being alleged as well as the opening up of our national security to external threats considering that the lady in question, Serwaa Broni is a Canadian citizen.Â
She could have opened out the president’s security up for what would not be pleasant news to those who are seeing us rather as the problem.
If we do not speak about the allegations of Serwaa Broni which go far beyond her intimate relationship which is never our concern in this petition, when it is the turn of you, your daughter, your sister one day, there would be no one to speak.
As a nation, we must know that if we assume that what the President did is wrong, and if it could be proven that it was wrong, but because of our love for him, we refuse to deal with it, we cannot turn around to deal with another president in the future if he even does worst.
It is no joke for the Head of the National Security Council to command the forces to stage a robbery as is being alleged. If those to investigate high crimes are themselves used to committing these high crimes, who would be responsible for investigations?
Our call on Parliament is a call which Parliament has the power to investigate and commence under the Constitution, 1992.Â
The process we are triggering would allow the President to respond to these allegations. He has a duty to every citizen to clear doubts in the minds of those citizens, even if they hold views contrary to his, and that is how societies progress.
We are not taken by fear or intimidation. Our resolve is to pursue what is just and to hold public officers to their oaths, and not use the opportunities and privileges provided by the state to disadvantage the very citizens they are expected to protect.
The three of us are united in this resolve to the latter.Â
