Security agencies not on top of their job – Okudzeto Ablakwa
National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says Ghanaian security agencies are not on top of their job and has urged them to work hard to sustain the peace in the country.
According to Mr Ablakwa, the security agencies and the government must wake up and take the security concerns being raised by other countries and their advice to their nationals in Ghana, seriously.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr Ablakwa said it will take the collective efforts of the security agencies and Ghanaians to deal with reports of insecurity and fear in Ghana.
“If we should allow the realities on the ground to speak for themselves, I am not convinced the security agencies are on top of their job and looking at even the pronouncements made by the Criminal Investigations Department boss COP Maame Tiwaa, they can’t convince us they are on top of issues,” he stated.
Mr Ablakwa’s comments follow issues of recent kidnappings in Ghana which he described as an issue not to be dealt with along partisan lines.
He added “if you proceed to be partisan on this issue, one party may decide to step aside in finding lasting solutions to the problem which will affect all of us,” he noted.
