PNC calls for speedy investigation of member's death
Accra, Nov. 17, Ghanadot/GNA - The People's
National Convention (PNC), on Tuesday called on the security
agencies to step up investigations to ascertain who are behind
the assassination of its Election 2008 parliamentary candidate
for Nalerigu, Mr Moses Alando.
The National Chairman, Alhaji Ahmed Ramandan and the General
Secretary, Mr Anbataayela Bernard Mornah, in joint statement to
the Ghana News Agency in Accra described the death as an
unfortunate and a dastardly incident.
The PNC leadership, therefore, called on government to show
optimal interest in the case "because if it is not well
investigated and justice ensured, it has the tendency to spiral
out of control with consequences which may not be desirable".
"We say this guided by the near-chaos situation that greeted
news of his demise in Nalerigu, on November 12," the statement
said.
It said even though the party trusted in the capacity of the
security to unravel the mystery, "we must also state that this
should be done as soon is humanly practicable".
The statement said: "The longer this takes, the greater the
possibility of justice being strangled thereby prolonging the
state of insecurity among citizens.
"We also wish to once again express our sincerest condolences to
the bereaved family. We pray that they are given the necessary
strength and fortitude to stand this tide of trial and agony.
"We assure them we will be with them physically and spiritually
throughout these hard moments."
The statement appealed to all PNC members in the constituency to
remain calm, stressing "indeed, not only has the death of our
beloved comrade and compatriot shocked every member of the PNC
family, it has also heightened our concerns about the guaranteed
safety of those of us still living given the circumstance under
which he died".
