Women and children’s rights activist and politician, Christabel Adomako Kye, has urged the Ghanaian government to prioritise border security, environmental protection, and transparency in the management of state resources.
In a press statement issued on Friday, December 19, Ms Adomako Kye highlighted what she described as “pressing issues affecting our nation,” including the recent influx of foreigners and the misappropriation of public funds.
She called for a series of measures to safeguard the country’s security, environment, and vulnerable populations.
On security, she recommended the collection of biometric data and photographs at all entry points, alongside the installation of CCTV cameras and solar-powered streetlights across cemeteries, roads, and communities to prevent crime, improve traffic management, and deter vandalism.
Adomako Kye also emphasised the need for environmental protection, urging the government to intensify efforts to combat environmental degradation through reforestation, stricter regulation of mining practices, and the establishment of a task force to monitor environmental offenders.
She called for the provision of alternative livelihoods for communities affected by environmental challenges.
“Prosecution of individuals who have misappropriated Ghana’s resources is crucial,” she stated, adding that accountability and transparency in managing state funds should be a national priority.
The activist also drew attention to the plight of homeless citizens, describing it as a “national shame” and calling for job creation, affordable housing, and social programmes to ensure dignity for all vulnerable populations.
Adomako Kye stressed the importance of building “a secure, prosperous, and just Ghana,” urging citizens and government alike to take concerted action to safeguard the nation’s security, environment, and social well-being.
