The National Youth Organizer of the Convention People’s Party, Mr Kwabena Bomfeh has criticised the national security for keeping in their custody without charge, four soldiers suspected to have murdered Roko Frempong, the former Deputy Managing Director of the Ghana Commercial Bank. The New Crusading Guide in its Tuesday, December 1, 2009 edition reported that the wives of the four soldiers have challenged the basis for which their spouses are being unlawfully detained while they are denied access to their counsel and family. Reacting to the above concern, Mr Kwabena Bomfeh noted that if the suspects are really being held in custody without charge, it is against their basic human rights and that “we must demand from the national security answers” for their conduct. He was speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana Programme Tuesday. According to Mr Bomfeh, “We must not encourage that kind of culture in our society” where people will be detained without any charge and not be allowed access even to their counsel and family, charging, “you don’t put people in that kind of situation.” He however, stressed that “if anybody has gone against the law, let us go according to the law” in dealing with such a person. Agreeing with Mr. Bomfeh, the Deputy Minister of Environment, Dr Omane Boamah said the 1992 Constitution states that it is unlawful to hold someone in custody beyond 48 hours without producing that person in court and seeking the right decision to detain him further. “To that extent,” he noted, “I am all for the action taken by the families of these soldiers.” By: Dorcas Efe Mensah/myjoyonline.com/Ghana
