A former political Science lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr Richard Amoako Baah has expressed worry about the inciting comments of a Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress in the Suame Constituency.
The activist, Razak Koampa Avoliya is in the grips of the police and expected to answer to charges of offensive conduct following a video which captured him making what the police describes as comments inciting political violence.
The comments were made last week when Koampa was being interviewed by Kumasi-based Oyerepa TV after a party public event in Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region.
He was subsequently arrested by the Police in Suame and was later transferred to the Suntreso Divisional Police headquarters.
Reacting to the matter that has become a subject of discussion in the media space, Dr Amoako Baah who is a renowned member of the governing NPP recommended for the NDC to suspend the activist to serve as a deterrent to others who plan to make inciteful comments in the future.
“I am only saying that he should be suspended…The NDC should do that so as not to look like the current NPP,” the academic told host of Dwaboase on TV XYZ, Prince Minkah.
To him, the action of the NDC will set its leadership apart from the NPP which is noted of shielding wrong doers.
Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Police Command has enhanced security presence at the Asokwa District Court as the Suame Youth Organiser of the NDC appears in court today.
