Albert Kan-Dapaah, the minister of national security, has been called before parliament to address the house on Thursday, November 9, 2023, regarding the purported military attacks on the people of Garu and Tempane in the Upper East Region.
After some military soldiers allegedly unleashed mayhem on the Garu locals over the weekend, more than fifty persons were admitted to the hospital.
The military operation is said to have been carried out in reprisal for a vigilante group in Garu attacking a few National Security agents.
In response to calls by Members of Parliament for an investigation into the matter, Andrew Amoako Asiamah, the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament who chaired proceedings at the time the concern was raised in the house directed the National Security Minister to brief the legislators on the situation on November 9, 2023.
“At the moment, what I want to do is to invite the Minister to appear before the entire house, come and brief us. Probably what we are hearing is different from what the Minister has at his sleeves. So let us invite the Minister to appear before the house, he will come and brief the house, and we will take it on from there.”
“So I am asking that the Minister appear before the house on Thursday the 9th of November 2023 to brief the house concerning issues related to happenings at Garu and Tempane.”
