“THE LAW WILL WORK WITHOUT FEAR OR
FAVOUR” – PRESIDENT AKUFO-ADDO ASSURES ASANTEHENE
The
President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has
assured the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, of his commitment
to ensuring that the rule of law works without fear or favour,
and without regard to any partisan, ethnic or religious
considerations.
According to President Akufo-Addo, “it
will not be under my watch that people will take the law into
their own hands, neither will it be under my watch that the laws
of our land will not be enforced. That will never happen. The
law will work without fear or favour.”
The President made
this known on Saturday, April 1, 2017, when he paid a courtesy
call on Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace, at the
commencement of his 3-day tour of the Ashanti Region.
President Akufo-Addo’s remarks come in the wake of the “attack”
on the Ashanti Regional Security Co-ordinator, George Agyei, by
members of the “Delta Force”.
“I know this matter is a
source of great worry for you, Otumfuo. Let not your heart be
troubled. The incident has occurred, and I assure you that
measures have been put in place to forestall the reoccurrence of
this issue in Asanteman, and, for that matter, in any part of
the country,” he added.
President Akufo-Addo told the
gathering his visit to the Ashanti Region was to thank the
Asantehene and Asanteman for the massive show of confidence
reposed in him and the New Patriotic Party in the 2016
elections.
“The vote I got in Ashanti was unprecedented.
I, therefore, came to show appreciation, and to tell Asanteman
of the policy initiatives we are putting in place to ensure that
we bring relief to the people of this country, and, thereby,
return the country onto the path of progress and prosperity,” he
added.
He continued, “Amongst others, I told the people
that when we win, we would bring Free SHS. The Free SHS policy
is on its way coming.”
The President, on Saturday, April
1, 2017, is expected to hold meetings with the leadership of
transport unions in the region; visit the Komfo Anokye Teaching
Hospital; visit the Kumasi Central Market; and hold an encounter
with the media.
