Women and children’s rights activist and politician, Christabel Adomako Kye, has called on the government to urgently address border security, environmental degradation, and financial accountability.

In a press statement released on Friday, December 19, Ms. Adomako Kye pointed to the increasing influx of foreigners and concerns over the misuse of public funds as critical issues demanding immediate attention.

She advocated for a multi-pronged approach to bolster national security, including the systematic collection of biometric data and photographs at all points of entry. “This is a necessary step to properly identify and monitor individuals entering our country,” she stated.

Ms. Adomako Kye further proposed the installation of CCTV cameras and solar-powered streetlights in public spaces like cemeteries, along roads, and within communities. She believes this will significantly deter crime, improve traffic flow, and reduce vandalism.

Turning to environmental concerns, the activist urged intensified efforts to combat deforestation and the negative impacts of mining. She called for robust reforestation programs, stricter enforcement of mining regulations, and the creation of a dedicated task force to monitor and prosecute environmental offenders.

Recognizing the impact of environmental challenges on local communities, Ms. Adomako Kye emphasized the need for alternative livelihood programs. “We must support communities affected by environmental degradation with sustainable economic opportunities,” she explained.

On the issue of public funds, Ms. Adomako Kye stressed the importance of holding individuals accountable for misappropriation. “Prosecution is key, but equally important is establishing a culture of transparency in the management of state resources,” she asserted.

The statement also highlighted the plight of Ghana’s homeless population, which Ms. Adomako Kye described as a “national shame.” She called for comprehensive social programs, affordable housing initiatives, and increased job creation to restore dignity to vulnerable citizens.

“Building a secure, prosperous, and just Ghana requires concerted action from both citizens and government,” Ms. Adomako Kye concluded. “We must prioritize the safeguarding of our nation’s security, environment, and the well-being of all Ghanaians.”
