President Akufo-Addo has emphasized that all law enforcement agencies, including the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, will uphold the rule of law and maintain order in the country as it approaches the December polls.
During his address at the commissioning of the Law House in Accra, President Akufo-Addo asserted that no political party or presidential candidate will be exempt from legal consequences if they violate the law.
He reassured the Ghanaian people that law enforcement agencies, including the Attorney General’s office, will exert their full authority to ensure that law and order are preserved, especially during this pivotal election year.
“I want to use the opportunity on this platform to reassure the Ghanaian people that the law enforcement agencies of the state, including the office of the attorney general, will do all with their power to ensure that law and order prevail in the country at all times, especially during this critical election year.
“We will not allow the peace, security and stability of the nation which has made Ghana a beacon of democracy on the African continent to be compromised on the alter of the ambition of any political party or presidential candidate, it will not happen. The laws and our statute boards including those on vigilantism will be strictly and vigorously enforced to preserve the peace and tranquillity of the country. We owe that to the good people of Ghana who have demonstrated so consistently and openly their deeper testament to peaceful democratic values,” he stated.
