A Community Focus Foundation Ghana (CFF-Ghana) is deeply worried about the insecurity situation in Ghana.

Though peace and security are the heart and soul of any fledgeling democracy, Ghana, a country highly touted as a democratic state in Sub-Saharan Africa has been in the news for bad reasons so far as state security is concerned.

The director of Community Focus Foundation Ghana Mr Richard Kasu has said,the security infractions including electoral violence, brutal ritual killing, high rate of robbery and killing of mobile money vendors and other individuals among others and missing persons amongst other crimes witnessed in recent times threaten the collective survival as a people in the country.

Mr Richard Kasu said, the gradual introduction of vigilante groups into our body politics by the political elites to perpetrate mayhem on political opponents further attest to how vulnerable we have become as a nation when it comes to our security. 

He added that, the insecurity situation as we find ourselves in today as a country is largely due to alleged biases demonstrated by some security heads. Instead of being loyal to the colours of Ghana, they turn to ''worship'' the appointing authority at the expense of the state who they are mandated by law to serve diligently. 

The group, therefore, condemn the actions and inactions of such officers we call nation wreckers in the strongest term ever. To safeguard our nation's peace and security, it's critically important we name and shame officers who allow themselves to be compromised and take actions injurious to the constitution of the Republic.

Speaking to Soireenews, Mr Richard Kasu said, they are calling on the President of the Republic, HE Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo to as a matter of urgency make changes to underperforming security heads in order to reposition the nation's security architecture and put the nation on the path of sustained progress and prosperity.
