The Dark Side of Power: How Richard Jakpa’s Tactics are Eroding Trust in Ghana’s National Security

Richard Jakpa, the newly appointed Director of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat, has been making waves in Ghana’s security circles. However, his methods have raised more questions than answers, sparking concerns about the erosion of trust in the country’s national security apparatus.
A recent operation that has come under scrutiny is the nighttime search of the immediate past governor of the Bank of Ghana. Despite having a court warrant, the way the search was conducted has been criticized. The disconnection of CCTV cameras and other questionable search methods have only added to the controversy ¹.
Furthermore, Jakpa’s approach to interrogation has been slammed for being heavy-handed. Arresting individuals and holding them for over 20 hours without proper justification is not only unfair but also potentially unlawful. As one expert noted, “In any investigation, it’s essential to do your due diligence before inviting a suspect for questioning. Keeping someone for extended periods as a show of force is not only unprofessional but also counterproductive.”
Jakpa’s tactics have sparked fears that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is losing the goodwill it had built. The party’s leadership must take a stand against Jakpa’s questionable methods and ensure that the rule of law is upheld.
It is essential to remember that power is temporary, and those who wield it must do so responsibly. As Ghana continues to navigate the complexities of its democratic journey, it is crucial that the actions of individuals like Richard Jakpa are scrutinized and held to account.
The fight against corruption is a noble one, but it must be waged in a civic manner. The ends do not justify the means, and Jakpa’s tactics are a stark reminder of this. It is time for the NDC to take a stand and ensure that justice is served, not through intimidation and coercion, but through the rule of law.
