Youth Organiser of the governing New Patriotic Party [NPP] Sammy Awuku has stated that even though they are not happy about the unfortunate actions of pro-NPP vigilante groups in the country, the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] is not in the right position to offer them advice on the current happenings.
The chairman of NDC Kofi Portuphy has accused president Akufo-Addo of being complicit in the lawless actions of the Delta force and the Invisible force who have over the past weeks taking the law in to their own hands.
He also described the fine of È»2,400 charged on each of the 13 members of the Delta force as “shambolic and theatricalâ€
But reacting to the comments made in a press conference on Wednesday [April 12] by Mr. Portuphy, Sammy Awuku said the NDC has no moral right for them to take lessons from.
According to him, the NPP has not shown any approval of lawlessness as done by the NDC in the Montie 3 case when they sign petitions to force the president to reverse the decision of the Supreme Court.
"Since the incident happened, the president has condemned it and said the rule of law must work. We have not lined up ministers to sign up
books. The NPP condemned the attacks at the court and is committed as a party to let due process workâ€.
"We cannot condone any act of lawlessness. If you fall foul of the law, the rule of law will work," he said.
Citing a police report in the Talensi by-election which was riddled with violence, Awuku said the NDC chair who is now "pontificating," and leading a religious lesson on peace was the man cited as having AK 47 in his car and fomenting trouble in the area.
"We will not allow the NDC to pontificate and claim to be more Arch bishop than the Arch bishop of Canterbury," he added.
He challenged the NDC chair to produce the killers of NPP supporters in Agbogbloshie in 2009 and several other culprits, including the Azorka boys who rained terror on the people during the reign of the NDC.
He said the NPP will not engage in any politics of equalization. If one falls foul of the law, they will be held to account.
But the National Organiser of the NDC Kofi Adams says the NPP cannot compare the Montie 3 scenario to that of the Delta Force attack of the courts.
