We will not relent in ensuring the prevalence of Rule of Law-Deputy AG
Therefore, as a state, if we begin to ensure that the laws of the state are obeyed and for that matter, those who go against the state laws are also punished, then actually we can have proper peace,”
The Deputy Attorney General, Mr.Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, has stated unreservedly that the Attorney General’s Department will not relent in its effort to ensure that rule of law prevails in the Country.
Also, he noted that its outfit will achieve in its quest to ensure peace in the country no matter who is involved.
“So far as the Attorney General’s office is concerned and in our quest to ensure that peace prevails in our country, we will not relent in our effort to ensure that rule of law prevails no matter who the person involved in the activity that we would be prosecuting or taking to court is,” he said.
Furthermore, Mr. Tuah stressed that peace is an enemy to the rule of man. Thus peace cannot prevail without rule of law.
“Therefore, as a state, if we begin to ensure that the laws of the state are obeyed and for that matter, those who go against the state laws are also punished, then actually we can have proper peace,” he indicated.
This was made known by the Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Tuah Yeboah at the 2021 International Peace day celebration in Sunyani, organized by the Bono Regional Peace Council under the theme; “Recovering better for an equitable and sustainable world.”
Additionally, the deputy AG stated that the provisions of Article 14(1) E which allows the state to act on behalf of children, can cure the growing canker of freedom of religion vis-a-vis the rights of children because children of school-going age have no rights relative to the issue of religion.
In conclusion, the Deputy AG maintained that the state assumes the position of the parent when it comes to the requirement of religion relative to school children.
He, therefore, called on all to support rules made by the state to regulate the behavior of students in school because the state is mandated to take a paternalistic approach when it comes to the rights of children.
