NDC SOLIDARIZES THE VICTIMS OF AYAWASO WUOGON WEST.
Today is exactly four (4) years since state-sponsored bandits wearing National Security garb and working under the instructions of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government brutalized, shot and maimed innocent citizens during the Bye Ayawaso West Wuogon Election.
The leadership and all members of the Democratic National Congress cannot forget the shame and embarrassment that this terrible event has caused our country.
On this sad day, we remember all those who were attacked and wounded on that exact day. We especially stand in solidarity with those who still bear the scars of the attacks they suffered at the hands of state-sponsored criminals.
The NDC is appalled by the blatant refusal of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government to implement the recommendations of the Emile Short Commission and its own white paper on the matter. It is a shame that until now, the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government did not consider it necessary to punish the perpetrators of the Ayawaso election violence.
What is more strange and sad, is the open refusal of the Attorney General, Mr. Godfred Dame to discuss how to pay compensation to the victims, as recommended by the Emile Short Commission.
Under these circumstances, we are giving the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government an ultimatum of 30 days to pay fair and adequate compensation to all injured victims of the Ayawaso West Wuogon violence, failing which, the NDC will cooperate with the affected people and take them all. necessary steps to seek appropriate compensation for him.
The NDC stands with all the victims of Ayawaso West Wuogon violence. We want to assure them of our unwavering commitment to punish the perpetrators and seek true justice for them at the next NDC in 2025.
