MAY 9 DISASTER AND THE LESSONS LEARNT

It is amazing how time really fly, 11 years ago May 9, 2001, the whole of Ghana and Africa to a larger extent mourned the death of 126 recorded precious lives of it's citizens.what makes the whole disaster something worth of remembrance is the fact that lessons seem not learned by the various stakeholders in the football world, the rampant agitation by club administrators, supporters, security personnel, officiating officials and the general public speaks volumes of how far we have come as a nation, some few weeks ago, supporters of Ebusua Dwarf went on rampage, asking that the life of referee Patrick Kyeremanteng be handed over to them, and significantly non of the hooligans who beat the official nearly to death has been arrested but rather the club has been left to suffer to punishment they had no hand in, this takes us to the Okudjeto commission that was set up to investigate and make recommendation as to how football must be organized in the country, the commission recommended ways to which security personnel will carry out their duty, this has been adhered to by the security personnel, the commission advised that entrance to our stadiums be made accessible as possible, some of this has been implemented.One area that the report failed to touch was the course of the disaster, which obviously can be attributed to crowed violence, supporter who took the law into their hands and vandalized properties at the stadium where not captured in the report, and this seem to give them the freedom to do what ever they like whenever they have the opportunity to come to the stadiums, many crowed violence has occurred almost all the centers that football is played in the country and all of these can only be attributed to fans of clubs, for them, there is nothing like lose on their dictionary which means whenever their clubs lose matches people will have to suffer for this.
There should be reforms in the way security personnel relate to fans, it is as if the laws of the land does not apply within our football stadiums, because it is common to see fans verbally abuse security personnel without due cause, For me it is time recalcitrant supporters are made to pay for their misbehavior and their irresponsible attitude towards match officials.
Just 11  years of May 9, have we really compensated the souls of the 126 recorded gallant men and women? we live to see (expect a follow up on the role of Kotoko And Accra Hearts of Oak)
