“We need to assure Ghanaians and the general public of their security and safety, so with this briefing, if we can allow members of the public to be part, or we should have assurance that the Minister would brief the media after the committee of the whole meeting, we should not deny the public this opportunity”.
He further added that the public needs to know what the Inspector General of Police (IGP) is doing in terms of security, and wanted to know what the advice of the Majority Leader would be.
