Ghanaian highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena recently raised concerns about the tragic East Legon accident involving Bishop Salifu Amoako’s son.
During an interview on Adom TV, the renowned “Adult Music” artist expressed his dismay at the perceived disparities in law enforcement based on social status and wealth.
He emphasized the troubling trend of impunity among young drivers, particularly noting the dangerous behaviors showcased in online videos.
Kwabena Kwabena specifically pointed out the fatal consequences resulting from the reckless driving of Bishop Amoako’s son, stressing that authorities should have intervened earlier.
He highlighted the abundance of incriminating videos documenting the young man’s negligent driving on social media, which, in his view, displayed a lack of enforcement from the police.
The singer criticized the prevailing attitude of leniency towards privileged individuals while disproportionately penalizing the less fortunate.
He expressed frustration at the apparent negligence of law enforcement agencies, particularly in monitoring social media activities that could contribute to road safety.
According to Kwabena Kwabena, the apparent selective application of laws in Ghana disproportionately impacts vulnerable and marginalized groups while allowing more affluent individuals to evade accountability.
He called for stricter measures to prevent underage driving and emphasized the critical role of law enforcement in upholding road safety regulations.
In light of the recent tragedy, the musician urged the public to reflect on the incident constructively rather than resorting to mockery.
He emphasized the universality of such accidents and stressed the importance of responsible behavior and consistent law enforcement to prevent similar incidents in the future.
“The young man’s social media has been filled with videos of him driving carelessly, and yet the police have failed to act.”
“The laws in Ghana only seem to work on the weak and the poor. We need to ensure that juveniles are not driving, and law enforcement must do their job properly.”
“It can happen to anyone.”
