IGP Yohonu has been desperate for a post-retirement contract from the day of his appointment and is not, therefore, in a position to stand his ground to defend the responsibilities enjoined on him by Article 202 of the 1992 Constitution against presidential pressures or directives from his subordinate, a COP acting as the National Security Coordinator receiving instructions directly from President Mahama.

Sycophancy breeds autocracy which slowly erodes democracy and the rule of law, and eventually kills democracy. That is how democracies die! Parliament must, therefore, never be seen to be on the leash by the Executive arm of government in its law making functions under Article 106 of the 1992 Constitution. The Security and Intelligence Agencies Bill 2025 as presently laid before Parliament has failed to comply with the mandatory provisions of Article 106 of the Constitution to be introduced in Parliament, accepted and considered for enactment.
