Advocacy has been touted as a laudable means of seeking justice, especially for the vulnerable in society.

It has been employed in many regions to attain results through the use of influential voices to trigger change.

In recent times, Ghanaians have had cause to call out critical voices who now appear to be inconspicuously silent on national issues.

Many have wondered what accounts for the seeming blind eye turned to the lawlessness and irregularities taking place sometimes under the ruling government.

But businessman and social commentator, Edgar Wiredu believes the unwillingness of state institutions to act on these issues discourages these critical voices from continuing in that venture.

"For those who are charged with the responsibility of taking up these matters, if they are not working, to what extent can you continue parroting?" he said.

He made this known on Joy FM's Super Morning Show on Friday.

For him, the ideal way to go when issues are called out is for the security agencies and appointing authorities to show commitment by taking the final action.

This may range from sanctions such as removal to prosecutions, among others. He says that in many of these incidents, the perpetrators have been let off the hook.

"To what extent would our noise go to correct that system? So, you know you have a situation where, as I said, there are people who may have that voice. There are people who are bold enough, those who will bear the costs, right? But they are limited because they don't have the power above from the talking," he told host Winston Amoah

The insurance practitioner is worried that this could degenerate if not addressed.
