PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release
9th December, 2024Tourism packages
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has noted with dismay, the vandalism of state properties by some persons in certain parts of the country since yesterday, 8th December 2024.
Some of these acts of vandalism and looting of state properties, are reported to have been carried out by disgruntled supporters of the New Patriotic Party who are of the belief that their party Parliamentary Candidates hoarded state-procured food items, fertilizer and other materials which were meant to be distributed before the December 7 elections, as part of the NPP’s voter-inducement strategy.
Also, some of these unfortunate incidents are reported to have been carried out by over-jubilant supporters of the NDC who have been carried away by the excitement of the party’s resounding victory in the just-ended Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
The NDC hereby condemns in no uncertain terms these acts of lawlessness whether carried out by NDC supporters or supporters of other parties.
While we appreciate the legitimate frustration of the Ghanaian people against the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP regime, we wish to call on Ghanaians, especially the rank and file of the NDC, to exercise restraint and to go about their jubilations with a sense of responsibility.Tourism packages
The NDC remains committed to upholding probity and accountability in government. And this, we shall begin to do after assuming the reins of office on 7th January 2025 in accordance with the RULE OF LAW.
The vandalism of state property, mob justice and any form of lawless retribution have the potential to undermine the peace and stability of our dear nation and, hence unacceptable. Such lawless acts constitute grievous offences under the laws of Ghana and will not be countenanced by the Ghana Police Service.
