Assin South MP Criticizes Mahama Over Defence Minister Vacancy
The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has criticized President John Dramani Mahama for the prolonged vacancy in the Defence Minister position.
According to Rev. Fordjour, the delay in naming a new Minister for Defence is an "irresponsible delay" that has left Ghana exposed to mounting security threats.
- The late Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, who held the defence portfolio, passed away almost three months ago.
- Despite the critical nature of the ministry, President Mahama has yet to nominate a substantive successor.
Nearly three months without a substantive Defence Minister is a dangerous gamble and reckless potential compromise of our territorial integrity. What a dangerous inaction!
Rev. Fordjour expressed his concerns on his X (formerly Twitter) page on Saturday, October 25.
