The Minority through its ranking member on Defence and Interior committee who doubles as MP for Builsa North, Mr James Agalga has condemned the deployment of the military to enforce compliance of ban on cereals at the various borders of the country.
He explained that, it is a core mandate for immigration and customs to secure our borders with respect to goods moving both inside and outside the country; therefore, it is a misplaced priority to use the military for such operations, more also where the minister failed to indicate that the enforcement task is beyond the immigration and customs.
Mr Agalga further added that, the decision of government to use the military at the various borders is a strategy to prevent Ghanaians living outside Ghana from coming to vote during December 7 elections.
He indicated that, it is a plan of the government to use the military to threaten people from coming to vote on December 7, more especially as the minister for food and agriculture, Mr Bryan Acheampong has said, the NPP won’t hand over power to the NDC.
