NDC’s Parliamentary candidate for Suame, Francis Dodovi has shared his frustrations at the recent surge in ritual killings in the country and has also suggested a solution to the menace.
On a show hosted by Nkrumah Tikese, Peace FM on Wednesday August 25, 2021, Francis Dodovi expressed worries over the desire of most young people to acquire riches without having to toil for it.
Mr Dodovi was of the view that investigating those in possession of expensive cars will help curb the ritual killing menace which has become prevalent.
“The love for ill-gotten wealth is becoming too much. Nobody cares. There are people that through their sweat from humble beginnings. But you see some young men that want to be rich overnight. So that they can also be acknowledged as rich men. But we cannot build a society like that. All of a sudden, people want us to see that they are also rich.This person has bought a Maybach, then he goes and buys one too. But what work does he do that he can pay for a $200,000 Maybach? Someone who has not even reached the age of 30? Society must investigate all these things. That is the only way out,”
Francis Dodovi also observed that a lot of Ghanaians do not seem to care about the how one made his/her money and have developed the habit of hailing any rich person.
“Now in Ghana, the most glorified thing is a rich person. We are not worried about where they got the money from. Once they know that you have money, everyone, especially in Kumasi, would throng to that place. As to where the money is coming from, no one knows. Today, people don’t celebrate knowledge. All that we want is money.”
