President John Mahama has called for unwavering support for Ghana’s security services, urging citizens to provide critical information and intelligence that can aid in tackling crime and maintaining peace.
Speaking at the Ghana Military Academy on Friday, April 11, during the graduation of officer cadets, President Mahama stressed that all allegations of crime would be taken seriously, warning that the country does not have the luxury of time for “games of smoke and mirrors.”
He stated, “Let me be emphatically clear, we do not have the resources or time to engage in games of smoke and mirrors.”
The president underscored that the Ghana Armed Forces are deeply engaged in numerous operations across the country, working relentlessly to preserve national security and peace.
On that score, he finds it needless for this endeavour to be wasted on chasing unsubstantiated rumours.
Mr Mahama also raised concerns over the volatile situation in the Bawku region, a long-standing flashpoint of conflict.
“Only two days ago, an incident in a marketplace triggered an unfortunate loss of lives and criminal vandalism of property. I wish to emphasise that nobody gains from this situation of conflict.”
In response to the conflict, government has triggered the Otumfour mediation process which saw all stakeholders participate in discussions in Kumasi on a roadmap towards peace.
” We must support our security services and work towards a peaceful and secure Ghana,” President Mahama asserted.
