J.J. Rawlings angry with Mr.Price for humiliating abuse on ‘panty thieves’

The most reported news throughout this week is the panty shoplifters at Mr. Price, Accra Mall. Many known and unknown voices have expressed diverse opinions on it and the latest to join is former President Jerry John Rawlings.

A statement released from the office of the former military leader said;

“while we must not condone any form of wrongdoing, I find it outrageous that these young Ghanaians were subjected to such humiliating abuse and in the full glare of the general public.”

He noted that the act “brings into serious question the shop’s policy on handling shoplifting. Of particular concern is the apparent condoningbehaviour of the shop manager and security on duty.”

The ex-President described the act as “dehumanizing treatment of our people is backward, primitive and defeats our efforts at restoring the moral fiber of society.

He said the police should investigate this matter and urged that the perpetrators of this uncivilized behaviour must also be brought to book.
