A SECURITY Policy Expert at the Centre for Security Dialogue and Peace Advocacy, Mr Anthony Acquaye, has called for investigation of inducement levelled against Minister for National Security, Mr Albert Kan Dapaah by a political activist who doubles as the Convenor of the Fix the Country Movement, Mr Oliver Barker-Vormawor which has threatened the state department.
His call was in reference to a press released by the Ministry of National Security debunking an allegations levelled against the Minister for National Security in a viral post made by Oliver Barker -Vormawor, regarding a purported offer of $ US 1,000,000.00 and a juicy appointment opportunity made to him by the Minister to compel him to cease his activism.
He stressed that an allegations which had caught the eye of the Ministry of National Security to inform the general public to ignore and treat them with the utmost contempt they deserve, in that, they were false, unfounded and a calculated attempt to hoodwink Ghanaians.
According to Mr Acquaye, it is imperative to state on record that, it is absolutely not enough for the Ministry for National Security to release a statement to debunk such critical allegations which undermine the integrity and the credibility of a Minister who is in-charge of a crucial Ministry that is responsible for the overall security and defence of the state.
He indicated that having led a vital role in the formation of Ghana's national security strategy and knowing very well the impacts of Civil Society Organisations (CSO's) in the process leading to the formation of the strategy, and other policies of the country through promotion of public dialogue on decisions that affect the lives of local people and the country's development by holding governments and policymakers publicly accountable as part of their oversight responsibilities.
He pointed out that the democracy and the development of the state are seriously threaten, if truely the allegations against the Minister for National Security in attempt to positively induced the convenors of the Fix the Country Movement as a strategy to stop them from pursuing their national developmental interests which are very paramount to all citizens, and most especially the timing youths who are unemployed are true.
Furthermore, according to him, the Minister knowing very well CSO's are parts of the security architecture, that seek to ensure peace, stability and development through their constant activism, makes it more dangerous to allegedly attempt to bribe them to weaken the organisations' capacity to advocate for the needed chang for the citizens and counter respond to any unfavourable policies by the government that threaten the country's growths or development.
Lastly, he said since attempting to bribe also constitutes a crime, I strongly call on parliament to constitute an Independent Commission of enquiry to investigate the said allegations to help establish the true facts of the matter in the best interests of the state.
