On the eve of President Kufuor’s sessional address to Parliament, some political parties say the country appears to be more polarized along partisan lines now than before.They said apart from the harsh economic conditions and degradation of the environment, there were tensions of ethnicity and a deep seated perception of selective justice.The General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party, Prof. Nii Noi Dowuona told Joy News that at 50, Ghana deserved better than what was happening, especially the events of February 5 and 6, 2007.According to him President Kufuor was presiding over a divided nation and needed to demonstrate his commitment to national unity in his address on the State of the Nation.“As a country there is no doubt that we are also divided sharply with much sentiments on political lines. We also know over the past decade or so ethnic sentiments also have risen sharply. So we think that the President should be considering these matters and make concrete, bold and pragmatic programmes that will really give credence to what he has already told us.“I believe that the events of the last two, three days are a matter of great concern and it must have a place, even if his text is already prepared, it must have a place in the State of the Nation address.”Prof. Dowuona said the CPP was of the conviction that the commitment and capacity of the nation to reconcile, unite as one people and identify with the national celebrations of independence was undermined by what was perceived as selective justice.“A member of our political family, that is Alhaji Mobila, was killed or he died under strange circumstances. Autopsy reports had indicated foul play. We’ve been told two people have been indicted. Almost two years and over now nothing has happened. So if we have a situation where people are being tried through due process for what we might call financial crimes, then another high crime of the nature of murder must not be seen to be ignored.”Prof. Dowuona said in a situation where a chief and 40 of his subjects were killed and a commission of enquiry set up at great cost to the nation and yet virtually nothing seemed to have come out of it all, it would be difficult for particularly people of Dagbon to accept that justice was equitably being dispensed.The Chairman of the Democratic Freedom Party, Alhaji Abdul-Rahman Issaka said the country was going through one of its worst moments with acute water shortage and energy crisis and a sharply divided Parliament.He explained that the incarceration of MP Dan Abodakpi had generated a lot of disharmony in the body politic of the society and was tearing the nation apart.“The economic system is also somehow unsettled because as everybody acknowledges, people are complaining about not feeling the effects of the macro economic stability that are being touted all around by the ruling NPP government. Traders are complaining, businessmen are complaining and so on and so forth.”He said the irregular power supply in the country was wreaking havoc for both domestic and industrial aspirations.
