Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has urged the Mahama-led government to concentrate on fulfilling its promises to Ghanaians rather than allowing arrests linked to political comments to generate controversy. He therefore encouraged the government to focus its attention on delivering on its mandate and avoid actions that could create the impression that it was restricting freedom of expression. His comments come shortly after the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) organised a nationwide demonstration dubbed “Democracy Under Attack” on Thursday, August 6. The opposition party has also accused the government of political persecution, selective application of justice and using state institutions to target its opponents and critics. He maintained that the government’s priority should be to deliver on its mandate and avoid unnecessary controversies arising from the arrest of citizens over their political expressions.
