The head of Research at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KIPKTC) Dr. Kwesi Aning has challenged government to indicate which law backs the operations of the task fore established to retrieve state assets.
"We should know who they report to, which laws back them in their operations and many more. It will be better if the Task force is recognized and made visible to the general public," Dr. Aning said on Starr FM Monday.
Government has set up a task force to retrieve state properties, which they believe, are in private hands.
It follows the seizure of some vehicles belonging to NDC national organizer Kofi Adams by some state security officials.
However, the security expert stressed that government must disclose the identity of the membership of the task force and also have an identifiable office where individuals seeking to volunteer information can walk in.
According to him, such a move will bring transparency and decency to the work of the task force.
He added: “If the state suspects that its properties have been misappropriated, they must have procedures to retrieve them. Asking neighbors and ordinary people to help in providing information on the assets is a ‘no no’, because there are professionally trained state institutions who are capable of doing these things. Those who have in their Possession State properties should return them”.

I wonder why these people like mr Aning and co said they have gone to school and had their Phd's meanwhile the law backs any citizen to protect the nation's properties.
Mr Book man, the law which says one cannot take something that does not belong to one, is the law that backs asset task force. You were all in Ghana when the leaders of a certain political was raping Ghana. Even the founder of that political party and his wife spoke vehemently against those corrupt practices. This is the time bring back to the state all what was stolen. It is only those who rape Ghana who will be complaining. Good Luck Mr. Book Man.
I m sure npp haven't forgotten how violence NDC can be , it's funny they should not start. Bcoz empty barrel makes the most noise, Nana call ur boys to order we want peace , oooo let the sleep lion sleep ooo hmmm mm hmm
I am also asking Dr Annin,which law backs former members of government to loot state properties when their tenure in government comes to an end? We are dealing with ruthless ***barred word*** so we will not pamper them with fine fine laws.We will be as ruthless as their stealing
No other paper than the lens. When they were ste*ling those state properties which law allowed them to take them home?if there was no law for that then there is no need for a law to retrieve them. Ghana doesn't belong to the ndc and they can't do whatever they want in our country,whether law or no law they took them unlawfully and will be retrieved unlawfully. This Ennin paa! Did you ask your friends which law allowed them to take those state properties? If there was no law then there is no law 'period' they can go burn the sea and you Annie can help them burn the ocean hahahaha you ain't seen nothing yet. NPP are using sledge hammer to kill those flies I would have used bull dozer to teach them sense.
THE TASK FORCE CONSISTS SECURITY AGENCIES AND CITIZENS PF GHANA. THE LAWS IN GHANA JUST LIKE ANYWHERE ALLOW ANY SECURITY OFFICES, AND CITIZENS TO APPREHEND ANYBODY WHO ATTEMPTS TO STEAL EITHER FROM THE STATE OR THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE STATE. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TASK FORCE AND ITS OPERATION IS THEREFORE BACKED BY THE LAW OF COMMON SENSEE.IT IS SENSIBLEE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF THE LAND.

Aning is not correct in his mind. He is sympathizing with the NDC government, the looters. He probably may be a beneficiary to their lootings like Kwesi Pratt, Akua Donkor, Dumelo, Ephson, Bature, etc. We are living in USA, where a Police Officer can enter anybody's house to arrest him or her without a bench warrant. Aning wants to be relevant in Ghana, all because few Ghanaians command great respect.
