The Witch-hunt has begun

The Ghanaian Democrat writes that the N(PP) has not changed a bit in its philosophy of witch-hunting and a scenario similar to that of the 1960s, is now being masterminded from the office of the President in earnest less than one month into the Kufuor's presidency.

It said in the early hours of last Wednesday, policemen with assault riffles condoned off the ACDR regional office at Pig Farm and searched all the rooms for "arms and ammunitions" with the exercise not yielding even a locally manufactured bullet as evidence.

In another instance, Alhaji Baba Kamara, the Deputy Treasurer of NDC was the next to taste what the NPP has planned for NDC top men at a warehouse off the Spintex Road in Accra, which was invaded by the Police on Wednesday.

Another NDC sympathiser, Usuya, a director of a local construction firm, suspected to be keeping arms for the purpose of destabilising the state, is said to be under the watchful eyes of Kufuor's security personnel.

The Democrat says what is happening is not strange to followers of Ghana's political evolution since independence. "It is clear from the panicky measures being adopted by the new NPP administration that they have always acted evil because they fear evil."

Observers, it said, believes the NPP would be better off concentrating on fulfilling the several promises they gave to the electorate rather than unleashing fear on society.
