NDC Communications Director, Sammy Gyamfi
In what could be described as a clash of opinions between an expert and politicians, the security expert, Professor Kwesi Aning and Sammy Gyamfi and Osei Bonsu Amoah of the nuclear power plant’s NDC, “ collided horns ” during the Discussions about the way forward on the issue of the attacks in western Togoland are concerned.
Dr Aning has proposed dialogue between the Ghanaian government and the ‘rebels’ as the ideal way to tackle the problem.
He advanced on Joy News, that attempts to use force and law could lead to an explosion of the issue since the separatists are well founded and have an army behind them.
“In the negotiation process, there is a give and take. You don’t just use the law to punish people. The history of secessionism and the way in which these problems have been solved does not speak of that (use of force). In Liberia and Sierra and other affected nations, talking to those who feel excluded and have raised arms against the state does not show weakness on the part of the state, ”Professor Aning told Joy News.
But in one of the rare situations in which members of the two main parties share similar views, Sammy Gyamfi, who is the Director of Communications for the NDC, and OB Amoah, who is a deputy on the NPP ticket, were in disagree, insisting that the negotiations may not agree. be the best solutions.
According to Sammy Gyamfi and OB Amoah, the government will show signs of weakness if it decides to negotiate with the group.
Both men defended the group’s punishment for having attacked the country’s territorial limits.
Sammy Gyamfi stood firm in his belief that the actions of separatists amount to treason and sedition and, therefore, must be the subject of the law.
In response to Professor Aning’s proposal for dialogue, OB Amoah said: “With all due respect, I do not agree with Professor Aning. The complaints of the separatists is that they have no facilities and want to join Togo. Even where they are concentrating their activities now they were not part of the plebiscite ”.
“This is like a coup leader trying to base his actions. We must be very careful. We cannot run a country in this way. The constitution says this is a unitary state and anyone who tries to create federalism is against the constitution. “
Sammy Gyamfi added that “there are certain things that are subject to mediation and negotiation. In my opinion, there are other things that cannot and should not be mediated and negotiated and one of them is betrayal and sedition. When the territorial integrity of the country is threatened by the rebels, it is not negotiated. You delete it. “
