Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has taken a swipe at the ruling New Patriotic Party for doing very little in the wake of the rampant lawlessness in the country.

The party subsequently urged the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to take stringent measures to stop the lawlessness perpetrated by pro-government vigilante groups.

Condemning the activities of the Invincible Forces and Delta Force, two vigilante groups of the NPP, at a press conference in Accra yesterday, National Chairman of the PPP, Nii-Allottey Brew-Hammond, urged President Akufo-Addo to take steps to disband these vigilante groups without fear or favour.

He went on to ask the president to make sure that Ghana does not become a failed state under his watch.

“In strongest terms, with the current lawlessness happening in the country and the clear lack of leadership by the ruling New Patriotic Party to deal with, as well as the hypocrisy and complicity of the opposition National Democratic Congress as an all-time key contributor and actor in the crisis on our hands, we demand that the president takes urgent steps to stop the lawlessness with immediate effect to save our country from degenerating into an ungovernable society and a sure candidate for failure as a state under his watch,” he stated.

Furthermore, Mr. Brew-Hammond gave a three-month ultimatum to government to end illegal small-scale mining activities (galamsey) in the country or face the PPP at the International Court of Justice.

According to him, galamsey has already poisoned majority of the nation’s water bodies, degraded farmlands and was threatening to dry up sources of treatable water to the extent that Ghana would have to import safe water in less than five years, if the menace was allowed to continue.

The Invincible Forces and Delta Force have been perpetrating violence since Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was sworn into office in January this year.

It would be recalled that members of the Invincible Force went about seizing state properties and offices while the Delta Force recently assaulted the president’s regional security coordinator in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region and their subsequent attack on a circuit court in Kumasi to free their colleagues who were standing trial.
