Deputy
Interior Minister, James Agalga has assured Ghanaians of the readiness
of security services in the country to maintain law and order in the
country.
According to him, there’s no cause for alarm as the
country prepares to receive the verdict by the nine-member panel sitting
on the election case between three leaders of the opposition New
Patriotic Party (NPP); Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, Dr. Mahamudu
Bawumia, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey and the Electoral Commission.
Speaking
on Oman FM’s political programme, Hon. James Agalga stressed that the
nation is “in firm control of our security. We all saw a demonstration
of the readiness on the part of the security agencies when they embarked
upon route matches in all the major cities of the country to tell the
people that we are ready to contain the situation in the unlikely event
that there’s any breach of the peace after the delivery of the verdict
of the Supreme Court.”
He therefore issued a warning to the
citizenry to refrain from any acts of provocation and stressed that the
security services have been bracing themselves to ensure that the nation
remains peaceful in the aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling.
Touching
on the implications of the pending election case on foreign investment
in the country, he was optimistic that “investors will continue to have
confidence in this country and come what may, Ghana is going to continue
to do well, grow from strength to strength after the verdict of the
Supreme Court has been delivered.”
The government, he further
said, has put measures in place to ensure that “at the end of the day,
Ghana survives and thrives in the Committee of nations as a democratic
country.”
