A private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu has criticized Ghanaians over their perceived timidity in the face of political and social injustice.<\/strong><\/p>\nKpebu\u2019s comments come amid growing discontent over government\u2019s actions, particularly following the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to halt Speaker Alban Bagbin\u2019s declaration of the seats of four MPs vacant.<\/p>\n
Kpebu argued that Ghanaians have become complacent, allowing leaders like President Akufo-Addo to disregard the law without consequence.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnywhere else, we would have been out in the streets like in Sri Lanka,\u201d he said on Key Points on October 19.<\/p>\n
He highlighted the stark contrast between Ghana\u2019s situation and that of nations where citizens actively protest against governmental overreach.<\/p>\n
He lamented that many Ghanaians fear speaking out against wrongdoing due to a concern for their safety, stating, \u201cYou see wrong and you don\u2019t want to say. You are afraid of dying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kpebu emphasized that rights are not granted freely; rather, they must be fought for.<\/p>\n
He likened the situation to the Biblical story of Judas Iscariot, suggesting that without his betrayal, Jesus would not have died to save the world from sin.<\/p>\n
His remarks echo a wider sentiment of frustration among Ghanaians, who are increasingly calling for accountability and greater civic engagement in the political process.<\/p>\n
