Members of Parliament who are unhappy about the abuse of state emblems and the Ghana Coat of Arms have called on the appropriate authority to ensure that people are made to adhere to the law that prevents the indiscriminate use of such national assets.The MPs particularly pointed accusing fingers at Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives as the worse abusers of the Ghana Coat of Arms.MP for Amenfi East, Joseph Boaheng Adu who raised the issue said even rickety vehicles make use of such emblems, hence denigrating its essence. He said this was against state protocol and that culprits must be brought to book for such actions.He said the Ghana Coat of Arms are sold on the internet for various prices, a practice that he believes should be encouraged.MP for Ahafo Ano North Stephen Balado Manu urged the national security to work towards apprehending people who are misusing these emblems to serve as a deterrent to others.Papa Owusu Ankomah, MP for Sekondi however believes it is time for the state to think outside the box to see how the country can benefit from the sale and use of such state emblem.MP for Tamale South Haruna Iddrisu believes such acts are committed by individuals who are oblivious of the law. He therefore advocated that such people need to be educated on the law so they.But the Deputy Attorney General Ebo Barton-Oduro told Joy News the concerns raised by his colleague MPs are legitimate and stated that his ministry intends to ensure that the practice is brought to a halt.Agreeing with the position of some of his colleagues, the deputy minister called for an intensive education on the law before it can be enforced to the letter.He said only the President and a few state institutions as well as some personalities have the power to use these emblems and that there is a need to collaborate with the law enforcement agencies and other institutions such as the National Centre for Civic Education to ensure that people understand the law before it is enforced.Story by Derick Romeo Adogla/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
