Koforidua-Ghana, May 30, GNA – Mr Clement Donkor, the Director of the New Juaben South Municipal Office of the National Commission of Civic Education (NCCE) has advised citizens to avoid vigilantism since it is illegal.

Ghana has enacted a vigilantism law that punishes offenders with at least ten years in prison and sanctions political organisations that support vigilantism with enormous fines.

Mr Donkor gave the advice while addressing a group of cattle, sheep, and goats traders in Koforidua on the need for them to be endowed with knowledge of the constitution as part of the public engagement on activities commemorating 30 years of constitutional democracy in Ghana.

The theme for the celebration was: “30 years of constitutional democracy, building national cohesion through civic education and participation in local governance.”

The purpose of the event was to remind Ghanaians of their social obligations with the state and to discuss constitutional practise, challenges, and the way forward.

“As the election is approaching, advise your wards to stay away from vigilante groups so they do not to be punished by the law when they are caught,” he said.

Mr Donkor stated that knowledge of the constitution would enable citizens to assert their rights appropriately and refrain from engaging in illegal behaviour.

He indicated that the NCCE has engaged approximately 15 organisations in the municipality, including the Police, fire service, artisans, Christian and Muslim bodies.

Mr Donkor noticed from their interactions with citizens that there was a limited understanding of the Constitution, adding that, despite that the vast majority were aware of their fundamental human rights.

Consequently, he urged the government to provide the NCCE with adequate resources so that they can increase public participation and intensify constitutional education.

Because “you have a say in governance,” he also encouraged citizens to actively participate in local governance by electing capable individuals for leadership roles.

Alhaji Garibabi Musah, Chief Bujua also known as the Chief of Cattle, Sheep and Goats Merchants said, “To my knowledge, the constitution seeks peace in the country,” and said vigilantism brought about misunderstanding and disruptions.

Therefore, it was the duty of citizens to advise themselves and embrace the instructions in the constitution.
