REPORT OF SHORT-LED AYAWASO WEST WUOGON COMMISSION TO BE PUBLISHED

-
The government has submitted for gazetting and publication the report from the Ayawaso West Wuogon Commission of Inquiry and its attendant white paper.

According to the Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the government, after scrutinising the report, has issued a white paper which, together with the report itself, will be published in accordance with Article 280 Clause 3 of the 1992 constitution.

The Information Minister said this in a short Facebook Live video to announce the government’s action. He also extended the government’s gratitude to the chairman and his team for their work.

Lead-up to violence
The Commission, chaired by Justice Emile Short, was established by President Akufo-Addo on February 8 this year to make a full inquiry into the circumstances of events of associated violence during the January 31 2019 by-election. It was also made responsible for establishing the facts leading up to the violence.

The Commission’s terms of reference were:

(a) to make a full, faithful and impartial inquiry into the circumstances of, and establish the facts leading to, the events and associated violence during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election on the 31st day of January 2019;

(b) to identify any person responsible for or who has been involved in the events, associated violence and injuries;

(c) to inquire into any matter which the Commission considers incidental or reasonably related to the causes of the events and the associated violence and injuries; and

(d) to submit within one month its report to the President giving reasons for its findings and recommendations, including appropriate sanctions, if any.

Raw nerves
There was a shooting by armed security personnel at the residence of the NDC parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon during the by-election.

The event, which occurred close to the poll grounds, touched raw nerves and sparked chaos at the centre.

The MP for Ningo Prampram, Sam Dzata George, also received hefty slaps from men in security attire when he protested about a fracas that had occurred at the home of the NDC candidate.

Thirteen party members were injured. They were taken to the Legon and 37 Military Hospitals for treatment. The NDC withdrew from the race in protest, citing the violence.

Both the NDC and NPP held press conferences to address the matter and calm angry supporters.

Gaddafi's last words as he begged for mercy: 'What did I do to you?'  Declassified Emails Reveal Ghadaffi was brutally murdered because France wanted to maintain their financial stranglehold on African Nations.  One of the over  3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department on 2016  New Year’s Eve, contain damning evidence of Western nations using NATO as a tool to topple Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. The NATO overthrow was not for the protection of the people, but instead it was to thwart Gaddafi’s attempt to create a gold-backed African currency to compete with the Western central banking monopoly.   The April 2011 email , sent to the Secretary of State Hillary by unofficial adviser and longtime Clinton confidante Sidney Blumenthal with the subject line “France’s client and Qaddafi’s gold,” reveals predatory Western intentions.  The emails indicate the French-led NATO military initiative in Libya was also driven by a des...
