Mr Kofi Bentum Quantson, the former and first Executive Secretary of the NACOC, then NACOB, launched his book on Friday, October 24, 2025, on recent developments in Ghana’s political landscape.
The book titled, “Ghana Politics: Some Harsh Words, No Apologies” brought together some key prominent personalities, such as Her Ladyship Sophia Akufo, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Brig Gen Maxwell Obuba Mantey, Director General of the Narcotics Control Commission, Mr Stephen Yeboah, Deputy Director General in Charge of General Services, Col Festus Aboagye (Rtd), a security expert, Mr Charles Yaw Akrofi, Director of Finance of NACOC, and others.

The former NACOC boss, in his remarks, highlighted the need for Ghanaians to be aware of certain comments made by some people which seek to cause disaffection among the citizenry.
This, he noted, goes a long way towards inciting unrest and causing dissatisfaction among residents as a result of such rude and harsh language being used in the media without regard for the country’s peace and unity.

He urged key stakeholders to guarantee that persons who use such hate speech and harsh remarks in public are identified and shamed, emphasising that this is one of the most effective approaches to address the country’s problem, as detailed in his book.
“Using harsh words in the public space poses a national security threat to the peace and stability of the nation, and will implore all of us to eschew such acts” In his review of the book, Conl Festus Aboagye (Rtd) commended Mr Bentum Quanston as a consistent politician whose writing remains faithful and objective to the interests of the country and people, rather than to power.

He described the book as a national mirror that exposes the flaws in Ghanaian society and should serve as a wake-up call to all stakeholders accountable for maintaining the country’s peace and democratic values.
“The book is partly a memoir, satirical and highlights a piece of morality in society which must be followed and adhered to”
Brig Gen Maxwell Obuba Mantey commended the work done by the author of the book, citing it as a masterpiece and advised everyone to read it and become acquainted with the current challenges that are likely to cause instability among the citizens.

He urged everyone, particularly those in security and intelligence organisations, to obtain copies so that they could stay up to date on problems concerning national and human security.
The twenty-three epistles book underlines all-around concerns that affect society and the nation at large, which, if not addressed systematically, may imperil the country’s peace and calm, hence the need for everyone to be cautious in their comments,” he added.
