Former President John Dramani Mahama is of high expectation that persons found culpable in the Ejura shooting incident will be duly punished.<\/p>\n
His concern comes ahead of the release of the report by a three-member committee set up to investigate the circumstances that led to the killing of two persons and the injury of four others.<\/p>\n
The 2020 Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress said videos captured of the Ejura incident showed security personnel refusing to act right.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Ghana, police are the first to move in to deal with demonstrations. Military stays behind the police but in the video, I saw the military taking lead and started shooting immediately they got out of the vehicle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The former President said this in an address to the people of Frante at Ejura where he has started a \u2018Thank You Tour\u2019 of the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe security personnel have become trigger-happy. We say impunity breeds more impunity. Impunity breeds criminality and violence. It looks like the President is happy with these incidents,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In June, two people were allegedly killed by the military, while four others were injured after some protesting youth of Ejura Sekyedumase clashed with the military and police.<\/p>\n
The youth were protesting the murder of the 40-year-old Ibrahim Mohammed, aka Kaaka.<\/p>\n
Mr Mahama believes the failure of the President to punish persons indicted in the Commission report on the Ayawaso West Wuogon bye-election incident was the reason for the recent election-related shootings.<\/p>\n
According to him, the Medical Superintendent of Ejura Government Hospital, Dr Mensah Manyah has been victimised for testifying before the Justice Koomson committee.<\/p>\n
Dr Manyah has been transferred to a health centre which Mr Mahama regards as demotion, stating this breaches good governance ethics and impedes the development of the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can only encourage the Doctor and hope he discharges his duty diligently in his new position just as he did at the Ejura Government Hospital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
