Politics of Tuesday, 9 April 2019Source: ghananewsagency.orgNCCE courts media support for disbandment of vigilantismJosephine NkrumahMrs Josephine Nkrumah, the Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) on Monday called on the media and stakeholders to compliment the awareness activities of the commission towards the disbandment of Vigilantism in Ghana. Mrs Nkrumah stated during a launch of a report on engagements with political parties and other stakeholders on the menace of “Political Party Vigilantism”. Vigilante or politically related violence has fuelled polarization in Ghana’s body politic and undermined the nation’s drive towards democratic maturity. She added that, a comprehensive job creation policy to address youth employment in Ghana would help dissolve the issues of Vigilantism in Ghana. “I call on all of you to speak up against the practice of Vigilantism and also raise the awareness of the tenant of our constitution on democratic culture to help resolve Vigilantism in Ghana,” she added.
