Ranking member on Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said it is important as a country to pay attention to the travel advisory that the various foreign missions in Ghana are giving about insecurity in the country.

According to the ranking member much is not being done to safeguard the territorial integrity as well as, the boarders “we need to pay attention and compare notes, let us find out what the Americans know”.

He made this remarks in an interview in the wake of the United States of America issuing travel advisory to its citizens in the wake of insecurity situation in the country.

“We need to put the right measure in place to protect our people and not down play this travel advisories”, he lamented.

Again it is within the right of the various missions in Ghana to provide them with travel advisory, and this should serve as a useful guide.

Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa further noted that premium should be placed on the issue of insecurity more especially considering happenings in Togo, Benin and Burkina Faso where a Canadian was killed.

Again we are seeing a trend that soldiers from Togo entering our territory claiming to be looking for dissidents.
