A Member of the Council of State, Lawyer Sam Okudzeto, has traced the recent lawlessness by vigilante groups to the release of the Montie 3.

“When the threat to the judges happened, we did not get that support that one had expected because it did not happen and there was presidential support, ministers were supporting the people. And so now I think other people groups are thinking that they have a right to do whatever they choose. So the important thing is for us to take a stand on this issue, he said.
Mr Okudzeto also strongly rejected calls by senior National Democratic Congress figures for the Interior Minister, National Security Minister and the Security Coordinator to resign.
He criticised the call, saying no investigation has so far proved that any minister has shown negligence.
He said: “The thing happened yesterday and then today you are saying ministers should resign what is the blame that you’ve been able to apportion to them.
“Let’s find out first of all, since you are saying it, I don’t know, that some party leaders are claiming that they know the people, that they are their supporters, let them go ahead and deal with those people and if we find out that there’s negligence on the part of any minister then we can call upon him to resign.”
