Ejura Police commander got merely a pat on the wrist – Sammy Gyamfi

Marketing communications Director for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi says the recommendations manufactured by the committee that looked into the Ejura gun assault as an insult to the sensibilities of those who were maimed, dropped family and lives. He disagrees that the recommendations are weakened, deficient, insufficient. The attorney argues that the report created looks as though the panel was endorsing the wrong functions of the officers who photo at unsuspecting citizens who have been just protesting the wrongful death of their colleague. This individual cited, for example , the move of the Police Commander Philip Hammond who started all the unrest by sending water canons to Kaaka’s burial to a different station as not consequence enough because he gets to maintain his rank and continue being a Commander which should not need been the case. ” This could not constitute a disciplinary action at all. It produces a slap on the wrist. What we should were expecting is that a minimum of this Police Officer would have already been dismissed or demoted if you look at the Soldiers who had been involved in the beating of a few civilians in Wa couple weeks ago, specific sanctions had been meted out to them. A few were demoted. But in this particular case, all the police leader got was a normal move. In times past the police administration have got touted transfers as a regular administrative measure so why could it be been presented as consequence in this case. ”Sammy Gyamfi pointed out that the setting up of the panel in its self was a coverup and an effort to delink the death of Kaaka from his social media advocacy and support for the #fixthecountry movement that hit social networking indicating that the committee users were paid to do exactly that and that’s what they do. The Committee set up with the Interior Minister on the purchases of the President to investigate the particular violence in Ejura completed its work and the survey was published some several weeks ago. Their work grew to become necessary after some occupants of Ejura were photo at and some maimed once they decided to demonstrate after the funeral of one kaaka who was the known social media activist who had been believed to have been murdered because of his constant criticism from the then Municipal Chief Executive. The particular Committee made several suggestions to ensure that such violence will not erupt in the near future and any place in Ghana. Among the various suggestions made include: 1 . Sufficient compensation for the families of the 2 deceased persons, Abdul Nasir Yusuf and Murtala Suraj Mohammed. It further suggested that the injured persons, Louis Ayikpa, Awal Misbau, plus Nasif Nuhu. 2 .
