Nothing justifies assault on Hawa Koomson – Tony Aidoo



Former Senior Presidential Aide Dr Tony Aidoo has condemned the recent attack on former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development Mavis Hawa Koomson, stating that “nothing justifies the assault against Hawa Koomson.”

In an exclusive interview on JoyNews, Dr Aidoo criticised the act of violence while acknowledging Koomson’s controversial political style.

He said,“I wouldn’t say Hawa Koomson should not have been there; she has the right to be there, but you see, the very personality and behaviour of Hawa Koomson are so provocative that she invites problems for herself. She acts like a one-woman warrior.

“A rabble-rouser wherever she goes, but nonetheless, I don’t think she deserves to be attacked, and I believe the government must do something about it in terms of identifying the culprits and bringing them to book.”

Turning to the broader political implications, Dr Aidoo highlighted the NDC’s historical values and its responsibility in upholding democratic standards.

“The NDC as a political party has a greater moral responsibility, not because it is now in power but by virtue of its historical process of becoming. Built with the principles of probity, accountability, and social justice.”

He urged President John Mahama to ensure such incidents do not mirror past events like the Ayawaso West violence.

“So the standard of judging the performance of the government, especially of the NDC government, must be higher, and therefore it is up to President Mahama that history doesn’t repeat itself like it happened at the Ayawaso West.”

Dr Aidoo distinguished the latest incident in Ablekuma North from the Ayawaso case but still pointed fingers at the NDC.

“Ayawaso was a state-sponsored thuggery; Ablekuma North was not, but nonetheless, the NDC still bears responsibility because the people involved are alleged to come from the NDC. There is no evidence, but it is up to the police to identify who the culprits are.”
