The Member of Parliament for Builsa South Dr. Clement Apaak has questioned why the military was deployed to Ejura.
The legislator reacting to the shooting incident that has led to the death of two residents and injured four others said the incident has tainted Ghana’s cherished democracy.
Dr. Apaak stated that the military had no business going to the community over a protest, residents were embarking on to demand justice for a friend and relative who died after he was attacked by a mob for criticizing the government.
He averred that Ghanaians are being tormented by armed robbers and the military could have been deployed to rather chase after these robbers rather than deployed to fire live bullets in an unarmed crowd.
“2 killed, 4 injured protesting the murder of an activist in Ejura critical of governments by soldiers in a democracy? Shouldn’t the soldiers be sent after brazen armed robbers tormenting us or to our northern borders to protect us from extremists groups? Cry my beloved nation!”
As a worried MP, he wants the matter to be properly investigated and all those implicated punished.
He charged the President to respond to the matter as swiftly as possible just as he did with the George Floyd matter.
He extended his condolences to the affected family and called for calm in the community.
