The Minority in Parliament has accused the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of enabling political thuggery, alleging that its supporters are terrorizing innocent Ghanaians with impunity.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, March 3, former Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, on behalf of the Minority, lamented what he described as a worsening security crisis, blaming President John Mahama’s government for failing to act decisively.

“Mr. President, the insecurity situation in our country is indeed very worrying. As you refuse to act decisively, the security agencies have become powerless, and this continues to embolden thugs of your party who visit mayhem on innocent Ghanaians daily,” he stated.

Dr. Amin Adam warned that the lack of firm action against lawlessness could push the country into chaos, adding that Ghana’s security forces had been rendered ineffective due to political interference.

He further condemned a series of violent attacks, particularly raids on the homes of former government officials, likening them to military coup-style invasions reminiscent of Ghana’s turbulent past.

Beyond concerns over security, the Minority also accused the Mahama-led administration of bias in law enforcement, claiming that while former New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials are subjected to harassment and investigations, ex-NDC government appointees facing corruption charges have been exonerated and rewarded with key positions.

“Rather strangely, whilst officials of the NPP administration are being harassed and investigated, former officials of the NDC government who were on judicial trials have been cleared of all criminal charges against them,” Dr. Amin Adam alleged.

He went further to describe the country’s justice system as politically skewed, likening it to George Orwell’s Animal Farm, where selective justice prevails.

“Today, we are being told that crime has party colours, and our country has been turned into an Animal Farm where ‘Four legs good, Two legs bad,’” he remarked.

The Minority urged President Mahama to take urgent action to restore law and order, cautioning that his continued inaction could plunge the nation into instability.
