Over the last five years, our security has seen a tremendous boost in the protection of human lives and human rights as well as property. It is this kind of environment that can be called a secured nation. Given our history, this is a journey worth celebrating and we need to congratulate ourselves for it. We must safeguard this buildup for the good of all.

A good 70% of the young people Youth for Action Ghana has been interacting with across the country have been of the conviction that Ghana is better off with the crop of security apparatus we have today. Of course there have been some casualties in maintaining security in the country and a lot more needs to be done to improve the living conditions of the masses; we need to take care of the deplorable conditions in our schools; the healthcare needs of our people must be paramount on the agenda; and job security should be worked on seriously too. This calls for the collective pulling-up of sleeves to get Ghana going. The blame game cannot fit in this at all.

The ground work has been done for the achievement of a better Ghana. We enjoy true freedom of expression. Rumors of war are no longer swept under the carpet to eventually grow into major mayhem, there are no longer criminal abductions and silent killings, there is rule of law, we have moved on as a nation. Lets all take pride in that.

Nonetheless, we must also be grateful to those who have sailed the ship this far - the national security apparatus.

The eagles that were purposed to lift our sovereignty are the citizenry especially those appointed to the high offices to coordinate security in Ghana. We believe Ghana is doing well. Let's protect this hard won reputation and do away with all manner of speculations that end up only mocking us. That way, we will be making Ghana a true nation of Freedom and Justice. God bless our homeland Ghana!
