Former
Member of Parliament for Asokwa constituency, Maxwell Kofi Jumah has
called on his colleagues in Parliament to institute a Committee charged
with an oversight responsibility over the operations of the National
Security setup.
Contributing to a panel discussion programme on U TV, Hon. Kofi Jumah told host of the morning show "Adekye Nsroma"
Tweneboah Koduah that it is about time Members of Parliament considered
setting up an "Oversight Committee" to monitor the affairs of National
Security.
He argued that the Security apparatus in Ghana needs to be redefined and also properly upgraded.
According to him, the "Oversight" Committee would help revamp Security in the nation.
He
explained that providing security for Ghanaians should not be
monopolized by the National Security but rather the Committee which
would ensure that the personnel account for their actions.
He
noted with caution the inability of the nation to hold the National
Security accountable to Ghanaians whenever they execute their duties and
so, called on the country's leaders to "sit down and analyze the
issues, and define it properly…We need to take a look at our National
Security setup under the present fourth Republican constitution.” |
