Arrest 'machomen' who harass electorates – Catholic Bishop
President of the Catholic Bishops Conference,
Bishop Joseph Osei-Bonsu, has charged security
agencies to clamp down on activities of thugs who
cause trouble (‘machomen’) in the lead up to
the December 7 polls.

“During the elections, there may be places where
people will be causing trouble. Therefore, all
those entrusted with security have to be
professional in their work. They have to be
non-partisan,” the Bishop said.

Bishop Osei-Bonsu spoke to Joy News in his peace
message to Ghanaians ahead of the 2016 polls.

He admonished the security agencies to uphold
professionalism noting, “certainly you will
belong to party A, B or C. But when you put the
uniform on, you must be seen to be
non-partisan”.

President of the Catholic Bishops Conference
condemned the act of “machomen” going around,
harassing people during elections and therefore
asked the police to deal with all those
“macho” people no matter which party they
belong to.

But before the elections would even commence, the
two major political parties in the country, NPP
and NDC are at each other’s throat, causing
mayhem in Odododiodoo and Nima in the Accra
metropolis.

Just yesterday, NDC and NPP supporters clashed at
the Nima residence of the NPP Presidential
candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo where
bodyguards of the Nana Akufo-Addo reportedly fired
warning shots in a bid to ward of NDC attackers
