Accra, Ghana, July 21, 2020//-The Community Focus Foundation Ghana (CFF-GH) has called for the arrest of Mavis Hawa-Koomson, a Member of Parliament and Minister of State for recklessly opening fire guns at some of her constituents at a registration centre in the Awutu Senya East Constituency of the Central Region.
It is high time people in responsible positions are punished severely if they fall foul of the law irrespective of their status in society. Ghanaians are to note that without Justice, Peace cannot be guaranteed, it added.
The group said it was scandalized by the reckless and sporadic shootings by the Minister of Special Development Initiative at the voter registration centre at Kasoa.
CFF-GH considered the unfortunate incident very disgraceful and a dent on the country’s participatory democratic governance.
“We condemn her misconduct in the strongest terms”, the Executive Director of CFF-GH, Richard Kasu, said in a statement issued on the Rambo styled behaviour of the minister.
“As a Member of Parliament (MP) and a Minister of State, the best she can do is to contribute meaningfully and empower more women to take up leadership roles in pursuit of national development, but regrettably, she has betrayed the confidence reposed in her by the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the Ghanaian people”.
By this release, they are calling on the Ghana Police Service to take action and arrest Hawa Koomson to face the full rigours of the law since NO MINISTER is bigger than the laws of the state.
