Kofi Totobi Quakyi - Akufo Addo must show genuine empathy for the frustrations of the youth

In the same way as other Ghanaians, the occasions at Ejura in the Ashanti Region this week have left me stunned, disheartened and incredibly worried about the current situation in the country. 

The homicide of Ibrahim 'Kaaka' Mohammed is a stain on the ethical still, small voice of this nation, just like the shooting of unarmed individuals from his local area by assumed military work force. 

In the two occasions, the casualties requested close to equity and responsibility. Furthermore, in the two occurrences, their authentic requests were met with deadly viciousness by the State and its acolytes that cost four lives in as numerous 

days. 

These wrongdoings feature, once more, the expanding dependence on brutality and savage power as a first hotel with respect to this organization, as though we have gained nothing from parts of our past, we would prefer not to see rehashed. 

Sadly, the most recent savagery is abetted by a similar harmful mix of political narrow mindedness, unavoidable exemption, and crucial deceitfulness that was answerable for the injuring at Ayawaso West Wuogon and the killings at Techiman South. 

The lynching of Ibrahim 'Kaaka' Mohammed, and the utilization of live ammo on dissenters requesting equity for his passing, are nevertheless the most recent instances of the remarkable acceleration in political thuggery. 

The savagery at Ejura is made more worried by its planning. It is doubtlessly apparent that the mind-set in the country as of now is one of incredible pressure. 

The cruel financial real factors existing apart from everything else, monster judgment obligations and so forth are suffocating most families, demolishing the generally upsetting imbalance in our general public, and testing the restrictions of our aggregate perseverance. 

For some youngsters, their nervousness about their possibilities has transformed into outrage, and their mind-set presently is stunningly near rage. 

But then, real and commendable endeavors to enlist their dismay as the quiet #FixTheCountry fights are in effect imprudently and purposefully baffled by the State in one of the more ridiculous presentations of unabashed lip service as of late. 

This portrays an administration that is more worried about its picture and hang on power than by the coals radiating from the current public state of mind. The Akufo-Addo organization should be mindful so as not to pour fuel on those flashes, for we will be unable to contain the fiery blaze. This organization has all the earmarks of being strolling through a minefield with blinders on. 

It should defeat this political nearsightedness and see the dangers and stakes for how high they are. The Akufo-Addo government should begin to show authentic compassion and worry for the dissatisfactions of the young and draw in them in more genuine and true ways. 

This age won't be restrained into dutifulness. At the point when our youngsters tire of being mistreated while calmly requesting equity and responsibility, they may depend on fanatic measures or settle for retaliation. 

In any case, we will all be more regrettable off. The public circumstance is getting more tense continuously and we should not pick the way of easygoing lack of concern. 

Kofi Totobi Quakyi: Akufo-Addo should show certifiable sympathy for youth's disappointments 

Kofi Totobi Quakyi, is a previous Minister for National Security. 

As Theodore Roosevelt once said: 'Equity comprises not in being impartial among good and bad however discovering the right and maintaining it any place found against some unacceptable'. The President can't take cover behind spur of the moment proclamations. He should show initiative and demonstrate hissincerity by his activities. 

The scenes we saw on live TV request total straightforwardness and full responsibility as a valid examination that the Ghanaian public can uphold and have faith in. 

A simple Ministerial request doesn't meet the imprint, as trust in same is sabotaged by this present organization's casual way to deal with past enquiries of that nature and ensuing refusal to acknowledge, not to mention execute, suggestions just like the case with the Emile Short Commission discoveries. 

I join the numerous others before me in sending genuine sympathies to the casualties in Ejura, their families, and the whole local area. I participate in calls for restriction with the expectation that equity will be done this time, since we can't bear in any case. 

Insight should win at this time to hold the guardrails of our majority rules system back from clasping unrecoverable. The public interest should beat the parochial. 

#Happy Republic Day.
