According to a statement released by the NDC on Tuesday, February 1, 2023, copied to Pulse.com.gh, the party cannot fathom why the government of the NPP has failed to compensate the victims of the incident and also failed to implement the recommendations contained in the report from the Emile Short Commission.
A statement signed by the General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Kwetey Fiavi, blamed the Attorney General for not ensuring that the affected victims are duly compensated.
"The NDC is appalled by the blatant refusal of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government to implement the recommendations of the Emile Short Commission and its own White Paper on this matter. It is shameful, to say the least, that till date, the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government has not deemed it necessary to prosecute the perpetrators of the Ayawaso by-election violence," portions of the statement read.
