In a recent address, President John Mahama cautioned the National Security Ministry regarding their approach to law enforcement. He emphasized that their methods, particularly raids and arrests, could lead to widespread unrest among citizens who may feel targeted unjustly. Mahama's comments come in light of increased security operations that have raised concerns about civil liberties and the potential for abuse of power.
Mahama urged the government to exercise restraint and consider the implications of their actions on public trust. He warned that heavy-handed tactics could provoke backlash from the population, which might view such measures as oppressive rather than protective. The former president stressed the importance of upholding democratic values and ensuring that security efforts do not infringe upon individual rights.
Additionally, he called for dialogue between authorities and citizens to address security concerns constructively. By fostering communication, Mahama believes it would be possible to maintain order without resorting to fear-driven tactics that alienate segments of society. His remarks underscore a critical need for balance between national security interests and respect for human rights.
