Former National Security Coordinator, Larry Gbevlo-Lartey has charged Mr. Ayikoi Otoo to leave the National Security Minister alone to do his work.
According to him, if Ayikoi Otoo, a former Attorney-General had just but sought advice on the linkage between the administration of justice and national stability he would not have made such zealotry comments on what Mr. Kan Dapaah said.
Mr. Kan Dapaah had reportedly made certain comments during sensitization of the Judiciary on the National Security Strategy of the country, which has fluffed some feathers inuding that of Mr. Ayokoi Otoo.
Mr. Gbevlo-Lartey, however, urged the former Attorney-General to go and read the National Security Strategy (NSS) and stop professing that judges are divine and infallible.

If Ayikoi Otoo had just but sought advice on the linkage between the administration of justice and national stability he would not have made such zealotry comments on what the Minister for National Security said during the sensitization of the Judiciary on the National Security Strategy of the country.
He should go and read the National Security Strategy (NSS) and stop professing that judges are divine and infallible.
They are not; and unfair administration of justice perceived or real, has led to serious national instability in many parts of our sub-region.
That is a lesson our National Security Minister appears to be well aware of better than Ayikoi.
The Minister did not say judges should rule on party lines.
Where does Ayikoi get that from? Does Ayikoi understand what the NSS means by a whole of Government and whole of society approach to ensuring national stability?
Has Ayikoi followed the observations of the CDD on the administration of justice in Ghana of late?
Has he examined the complex concept of subjective (perceived) and objective (real) fear and that security on any scale remains a feeling?
He should please leave the Minister alone to do his work, sensitize the general public including the judiciary on the thresholds of tolerance that ensure national stability.
