The Minority in Parliament is demanding that the numerous Ministers in charge of Ghana’s Security be made to address issue surrounding insecurity, in the wake of increase activities of armed robbery across the length and breadth of the country.
According to the Minority, the Minister of Information Mustapha Hamid is not the right person to address issue touching on security.
Ranking member on Defense and Interior and former Deputy Interior Minister, James Agalga in an interview pointed out that it was wrong for the Information Minister to make public operational measures to deal with the insecurity state of the country.
Again this is the first time in the history of Ghana that we have several Ministers in charge of Security.
We have Minister of Defense, Interior, National Security and Ministers of State at the presidency in charge of security with their Deputies.
And added that the Minister of Information Mustapha Hamid lacks the competence to discuss issue of security, the line Ministers should have done that he said.
Worsening this situation is the lack of discretion on the part of several appointees, who have rather sought to mock Ghanaians and heap insults on them on social media and elsewhere because they have complained about feeling insecure he lamented.
