Actress Lydia Forson has commented on the hot issue of the moment, the jail sentences of the so-called ‘Montie 3’ and the movement to get the President to pardon them.
According to the opinionated actress, getting the President to unilaterally overturn the verdict of the judiciary would undermine the courts massively due to the political nature of the decision, and surely serve as a recipe for disaster.
Forson ruminated on the post in a blog post on her official website.
“..To ask the president to interfere in something like this would be an insult to our judicial system and if anything at all create distrust between the people and judiciary.
“After all,  didn’t the same Supreme Court declare the ruling party winners of the 2012 elections? So why now are we supposed to not have faith in their ruling?
“If really the ruling party has issues with the judiciary it should let pressure groups and all the other organizations that act as a check on the government and how the country is run, deal with it; after all that’s what they’re created for.” she argued.
“I’m afraid that if the president uses his power to free these men it will make an already tense atmosphere worse. And could easily turn the country into a state of anarchy and that’s a recipe for disaster.”
She continued that the situation has to be looked at dispassionately – logically rather than with emotions.
“Sometimes we have to remove are [sic] emotions from a situation, sit back and see the bigger picture; and in doing that will be able to make smart decisions based on a projected future result. And this goes to the ruling party and how they want to handle this situation.
“There’s already an assumption that too many prominent people get away with crimes in this country because of all the “connections” they have and is probably why people are following this keenly.
“People are eagerly waiting to see how this plays out, and like the show Survivors, this could be a huge deciding factor on how people vote in the upcoming elections.
“As always I’m just going to be sitting here with my popcorn enjoying this like reality tv show…” she concluded.
