Nana Akuffo Addo has made our security services less attractive

*NPP VRS THE SECURITY SERVICES*

Nana Akuffo Addo and the  New Patriotic Party upon assumption of office have not only discredited our  security services but has also made the services and the forces less attractive.

The regional commanders of such services are no longer consulted before recruitments are done. They have either been sidelined or ignored which created a big vaccum that has made the whole process of recruitment compromised.

The Ghana Police Service, The Ghana Immigration Service, The Ghana Armed Forces, Ghana Fire Service etc. are now controlled and regulated by strong forces at the presidency. 

Opportunity was therefore created for Nana Akuffo Addo and the NPP to recruit party invincible forces into the security services.

Recently, a slot of 5 was given to each government appointee and the parliamentary candidates of the ruling NPP government to bring people for recruitment into the immigration service. This, I was told was a political recruitment to boost the opportunities of especially the parliamentary candidates to win their various seats. Even the regional commanders of the service were neither contacted nor consulted.

*Western Togoland Secessionist Group, a big threat to the Security of Ghana*

The call for independence by the above Secessionist  group does not only threatened the peace and Security of this country but also an affront to our democracy.

The call for Volta Region by this seccesionist group to be autonomous is a calculated attempt to re-write the historical anticedent of the great Volta and must be rejected unequivocally.

A recent meeting held by the Regional house of Chiefs in Volta Region was not attended by the Minister for National Security, Albert Kan- Dapaah which  sounds ridiculous.

To add more insult to an injury, an invitation given to the Regional Minister and the Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Minister by the Regional House of Chiefs to discuss measures to deal disturbances and threats posed by the apparent secessionist group was not even honored by these two sons of the Volta soil with the excuse that, they are busy and already scheduled for a meeting elsewhere!  The manner in which the invitation by the Volta Regional House of Chiefs to these personalities including their own sons is being treated is gradually proving right the allegation of the state involvement in these disturbances to politically destabilize the strong hold of the opposition in the run up to the December elections which is less than two months from now. 

It appears some   appointees of the NPP who hail from Volta region have deep connection with this Homeland Study Group.

One of such personalities is the Volta Regional Minister, Dr Letsa whose name is being circulated as a financier of the group. So far his posture and that of the entire NPP government on the uprising is leaving no doubt in the mind of many that, the disturbances in the Volta Region under the pretence of the "Western Togolanders" is hatched at the corridors of the jubilee house. 

Let's always remember that, we have one nation with a common  destiny and any calculated attempt to sacrifice part or whole of the country for a political gain defeats the essence of Article 4(1) of the 1992 constitution and the Presidential Oath taken by Mr. Akuffo Addo on 7th December, 2017.
