Tears stream down my face as I read news stories on mob
action and suicide. The list is updated, as each month has a record of deaths;
which is caused by mob action at different places in the country. The court is
handling some mob action cases, nonetheless, victims console themselves with
the arrest of culprits and await judgment. In recent times, incidents are
contradicting the hospitality nature of the Ghanaian society.
The history of mob action cannot be overlooked since the
literate or illiterate, rural area or urban area, have undeniable records of
mob action. Many a time victims are identified as armed robbers, thieves or murderers
by the mob, on the contrary some victims have committed no crimes. Victims who
survived could be counted in the country since lynching was the final stage. Will
I be the next victim of mob action? Posterity, I think I need to learn kick
boxing for self-defence and act like characters in action-packed movies.
Every society has its flaws hence political leaders as well as
religious leaders should implement policies to curb this act. On the threshold
of democracy in the country, she was applauded and supported, nonetheless the Ghanaian
seems to lose trust in the social institution. Some people claim that mob action in Ghana is caused by Police who do not perform their duty in honesty and loyalty.
The advocacy of “say no to galamsey” is yielding positive
results as the fight continuous. Posterity, why is the Chinese Embassy making
donations to Ghana Police Service and Attorney General’s Department, claiming
to be strenghthening ties. I hope the Ghanaian lives faithfully to the words of the National
Pledge.
Listen keenly, Ghana lost her son due to mob action and the
nation is mourning, I lay my pen on the desk for our next chat.
