Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has entreated Ghanaians to uphold the principles of the late Dr Joseph Boakye Danquah, a leading founder of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) for national unity and development.
At a church service to mark the 60th anniversary of Dr J.B Danquah's passing at the Kyebi Presbyterian Church on Sunday, Mr Afenyo-Markin, NPP MP for Effutu, said the principles of the rule of law, judicial independence, tolerance, and the protection of individual freedoms, which the late statesman held dearly must never be taken for granted.
According to him, those principles for which J.B Danquah fought and suffered persecution at the hands of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first president, holds the country together today.
To this end, he noted that the recent rambo-style raid on the home of former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, were unfortunate and must not be allowed to fester in a democratic state like Ghana. "We must never allow the machinery of state power to operate beyond the bounds of justice.
