Bishop Charles Agyinasare has described party-affiliated militia groups as “barbaric, cruel, unrefined and illegal” entities that must be “outlawed” in order to safeguard Ghana’s fledgling democracy.
He warned that should the two main political parties – the governing New Patriotic Party (N.P.P) and the main opposition National Democratic Congress (N.D.C) – fail to do so, the Christian community in Ghana, as has already been threatened by the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (G.P.C.C), will stage nationwide demonstrations against them.
At a post-election thanksgiving service by the newly-elected flag bearer of the N.D.C, Mr John Mahama and the party’s leadership, as well as all the, failed aspirants except Mr Goosie Tanoh, at Perez Chapel International on Sunday, 3 March 2019 in Accra, Bishop Agyinasare said the political party militarism phenomenon is “unacceptable” and “inconsistent with Ghana’s civilization”.
He has, therefore, backed President Nana Akufo-Addo’s call for the two main parties to meet to discuss ways of disbanding all the militia groups that associate with them.
The president made the call following the gun violence that marred the Thursday, 31 January 2019 Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election at La-Bawaleshie, where National Security operatives shot into a crowd of N.D.C supporters around the residence of the party’s parliamentary candidate Kwesi Delali Brempong and injured 16 people in the melee.
“The only solution” to the party militia problem, in Bishop Agyinasare’s view, “is for the police and the military to be given independent and unambiguous authority to deal ruthlessly with the menace in order to make illegal party armed militias highly unattractive”, adding that: “I support a legislative approach to outlaw such groups and impose heavy penalties on such offenders in our society”.
He also said: “There is a need to effectively disarm, demobilize and reintegrate these groups into society to become productive citizens and not a burden”.

H.E. JOHN MAHAMA’S THANKSGIVING SERVICE
Your Excellencies, Honourables, brothers and sisters.
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines VIGILANTISM as ‘the practice of ordinary people in a place taking unofficial action to prevent crime or to catch and punish people believed to be criminals’.
Ghana’s revered democracy appears threatened by growing inter- and intra-political intolerance. This situation is further threatened by the emergence of sponsored and trained armed groups belonging to the two main political parties, the N.P.P and the N.D.C.
