Violent conduct of security personnel worrying - Rev Asante
Reverend Professor Emmanuel Asante, Chairman of
the National Peace Council, has bemoaned the
violent conduct of some security personnel during
the second round of Special Voting last Sunday.

He observes that it should be a source of worry
for all considering the critical role security
personnel play before, during and after elections
and therefore urged them to exercise restraint
irrespective of the situation as peace officers.

“The conduct of some security officers is
worrying. It should b a major source of worry
especially when it involves persons who are
supposed to be peace officers”, he told Lantam
Papanko on the Ultimate Breakfast Show.

Reverend Asante also called on the Electoral
Commission (EC) to be professional in the
discharge of its duties and apply its rules fairly
so that the electorate and the representatives of
the political parties do not lose confidence in
them.

He is optimistic that the country will emerge from
the polls more united and strengthened if everyone
conducts himself/herself properly cautioning those
beating war drums to be wary that there is only
one country whose citizens are peace loving
people.

The Peace Council Chairman reiterated the need for
security personnel to be more than prepared to
protect and preserve the peace in the country in
order to foster the needed development.
