ACCRA, Ghana — The Minister for the Interior, Hon.

Addressing the leadership of the conference, the Interior Minister commended the National Chief Imam and Islamic leaders across the country for their leadership and maturity in de-escalating recent tensions. 


He specifically highlighted a recent public statement issued by the National Chief Imam’s office that disavowed inflammatory remarks made by another cleric, describing the swift intervention as a crucial step in maintaining public order.


Commitment to Impartial Law Enforcement

During the meeting, Hon. Mohammed-Mubarak reaffirmed the government’s commitment to political and religious neutrality in handling security matters. 





He emphasized that the administration will enforce the law without bias or political influence.





"We will treat crime as crime, no matter who is involved under this current government, be it Muslim or Christian," the Minister stated, underscoring that strict adherence to the rule of law remains paramount.


He further cautioned against undue suspicion among national stakeholders, noting that "two wrongs can never make a right" and that persistent mistrust hinders effective resolution.


Fostering Early Intervention and Partnership

The engagement aimed to establish a deeper understanding of the concerns raised by the national Muslim leadership regarding the current security landscape. 


Both parties discussed ongoing cooperative efforts to sustain peace, calm public anxiety, and build trust between civil society and state security apparatuses.


The Minister called for enhanced communication channels between religious bodies and security agencies to enable early interventions before minor disputes escalate. 


By strengthening this partnership, government officials and religious leaders expressed confidence in their shared ability to safeguard Ghana's long-standing tradition of religious tolerance and national stability.
