Security-Health Nexus: Why it must never be Politicized along Partisan lines
Rev. Msgr. Prof. Stephen Ntim
Media reports for the last couple of weeks have focused on two key issues of social protection. These are security and health: the so-called ‘vigilante’ groups and the issue of ‘galamsey’. The two are inextricably linked and cannot be separated from each other. They both have far reaching consequences for our livelihood.
We cannot live in a nation where there is lawlessness. Justice is undermined when we refuse to stand up for what is right. Collectively, if we fail to fight lawlessness before it rears its ugly head, it continues to prevail.
We all have a duty to establish the truth and the beauty of law and order before they become foreign to us. Freedom is never absolute. It is always constrained by responsibility.
