The deputy majority leader and Member of Parliament for Efutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo Markin has urged the Executive arm of government, members of Parliament, the judiciary, chiefs and the rest of the country to come together and protect the peace of the country.
He explained that, there may be some few security challenges in some parts of the country but that does not give the basis for people to declare the country as insecure, since such comments would not take us anywhere as a country.
Mr. Afenyo Markin further said, every Ghanaian citizen has the right to freedom of speech and also freedom to demonstrate and nothing should be done to frustrate the exercise of such people but must be done in a manner not to create or destroy the peace we all are enjoying.
The deputy majority leader advised every citizen to be mindful of how we react towards issues in our homes and body politics so that this country remain peaceful.
He made these remarks when he was contributing to a statement made by the member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, Dr Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings on the rising levels of insecurity and violet crime in Ghana.
