The first deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei Owusu has directed the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament to investigate into the unfortunate incident of military harassment in Wa yesterday and report back to the House in four weeks’ time.
The Speaker’s directive came when the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu spoke about the conduct of the military in Wa and other places in the country, and the security implications of such lawless behaviors.
He said, just this week, there has been a military incident which led to loss of lives following the death of Kaaka Ibrahim at Ejura Sekyere Dumase which has not been resolved yet, and only yesterday, there was another incident of military harassment at Kejetia in Wa where the military were beating the citizens needlessly.
Contributing to the issue, the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu agreed to the call of his colleague Haruna Iddrisu for immediate solution to rising incidents of insecurity.
Mr. Kyei Mensah-Bonsu further spoke against the recent attitude of lawlessness among many Ghanaian youth and must be an issue of concern to all, since these lawlessness between the security personnel and the citizens are not the fault of the security but from the civilians or citizens of this country.
