The various security agencies parading in this country have recently come under severe vilification in relation to their mode of operations especially with intelligence surveillance and gathering. Discussions within the media landscape drags to bear the utter dissatisfaction and displeasure within the general public pertaining to how their operations are carried out. I therefore express similar sentiments with that of the public in the sense that, over the years, the need has increased for our security agencies to mitigate anticipated threats more effectively by conducting vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, emergency preparedness and other security related issues but on the contrary, our security agencies have become the ambassadors of corruption, blackmailing and looting; actions which consistently drag both the image and the developmental agenda of the nation backwards. Political infiltration and manipulations have subsequently robbed the neutrality and the independence of these agencies. Indeed political influence has submerged and subdued the functional rationality of these sensitive agencies in the darks rendering them incapacitated. The most nauseating aspect of these outmoded developments is that the security agencies have become a token package used by politicians to honour and compensate party faithful without any credential considerations. This has massively contributed to the wave of incompetence, infighting, back-biting and pull-him-down attitude trailing down the security intelligence in Ghana. The implications of these barbaric and absurd manipulations brought about by political extremism and over-entrenched political stance are quiet revealing thus creating a vile bureaucratic agenda being pursued to the detriment of the collective interest of Ghanaians. Recently, the public confidence in the security agencies has waned considerably, especially the police service. No wonder matters bothering on crime are rather referred to the media for consideration instead of the security agencies. The expectation of every Ghanaian at this crucial moment is quiet certain, that our security system must deliver timely and relevant threats, vulnerability and reputation intelligence to enable the economy of the nation and businesses to adjust their security position based on the emerging threats that might impact their critical system. Undeniable these agencies are lagging behind this clue of modern civility pertaining to security intelligence and have allowed politics of the belly and the relics of greed to over-shadow their better parts. In other dispensations like the united states, the security forces do not need executive approval before handling matters relating to national security. Every group or individual activities with threat tendencies likely to plunge the existence of peace into the tight corners of anarchy and turmoil are meted with the appropriate responses; criminal cases are treated as such without any fear or favour. But this is rather unfortunate in our situation, the elements within the security agencies keep brooding in servitude to their political masters, subsequently creeping their integrity and professional ethics. Professionalism is nothing to boast of, moral etiquette and professional standard maintenance have died with them centuries. There have been several instances where the police force in particular have declined to effect legally warranted arrests on matters bothering on breach of national security just because those issues had political bearings. The recent war-fingering and inciting statements made by some political activist ought to have attracted swift intervention from the police or the BNI but rather scaled over the security parameters undetected. Some of these statements sought to distabilise the existence of peace and tranquility and light the flame of tyranny and magnanimity endangering the life of the citizenry. But for political affinity those unwarranted statements were rather defended by some alleged academics for whatever reasons known to them. The continual maneuvering of these sensitive agencies has placed Ghana on a time bomb likely to explode in no time. At this time cyber crime, fraud and impersonation are on the ascendancy in Ghana, everyone utilizing any means possible to have his or her way through. it does not even matter if it takes to spill blood. What were once considered as virtues of the land have been thrown to the pigs creating a loop of moral aberrations. Carefully assessing such a horrible situation starring at us, one would not be faulted in linking these happenings to massive institutional failure capturing the security agencies. It's a common knowledge, some elements in the security paradigm particularly the police service are by themselves apostles of corruption and looting. Hard to believe though but the truth is that, some politicians in this country use security experts within their reach of power manipulations for reprisals, unleashing fear and terror on opponents in whichever corner they are fingered. Conceivably broad day extortion and robbery by some security experts under the cover of their job is quiet problematic, a lot of policemen and women charged with the enormous responsibility of checking road unworthiness and other traffic offences are rather on a "desperate rampage of sheer extortion" in their daily dealings with the public drivers are the most unfortunate victims of these canning adventure. For some time now several reports have come out indicting the credibility and the integrity of these agencies especially the police service. The situation is compounded by the fact that, heads of these agencies are the sole initiators of these corrupt and fraudulent acts and are therefore unfazed by these unfolding scenes of plain embarrassment and integrity liquidation. The most recent of these numerous reports is that of the Ghana Integrity Initiative a chapter of Transparency International. The report figured the police service first on the corruption sheet which is quiet astonishing and heart-bleeding. Convincingly corruption has eaten deep into the fabrics of the police service to the extent where even the top brass seemed to have conceded defeat in the fight against this cancer. A lot of criminal activities have been offloaded to the reserved-shore and the culprits of these crimes walk uncharged under the cover of party politics and at times some of these criminal orchestrations warrant deafening and thunderous applause from party brigades and others in the gallery. The various regulatory bodies responsible for monitoring and evaluation of personnel in the various agencies are worse of a kind and just like our politicians of the belly, they photocopy writings from books and memorize them on platforms of active discussions, trading in semantics and ambiguous grammar is all they are good for .The failure to translate what we can do into reality keeps holding this nation into ransom. Our security agencies are indeed crumbling under the weight of poor managerial operations, fear, political maneuvering and many more. This has placed the onus on us as citizens to fight and make things right because right to security of the ordinarily Ghanaian is paramount and must supersede all other aspects of our dealings. To solve this witty mystery bedeviling our nation for decades, reforms must follow, admission of persons with proper qualifications must only be allowed into our security agencies without having any bearing on political influence. This would go a long way to revamp the already devastated and embattled integrity of the various security agencies. Despite the genuine challenges sweeping the agencies, the government has not abandoned efforts at ensuring that all necessary support needed are provided to promote effective fight and flash out crime from our modern society. Until this situation changes for the better, the available resources and revenue within the reach of the security agencies coupled with the government's unceasing efforts to provide support both monetary and logistics would continue to be used to make a living hell hole for the ordinary Ghanaian. My recommendation is simple, until heads roll down in the security agencies and our leaders begin to share unsentimental sense patriotism, the ordinary Ghanaian would continue to be a pawn in their greedy venture.
