The Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has said that Government takes very seriously any attempt to attack constitutional and legal entities that will create insecurity within the Ghanaian jurisdiction and therefore will not relent on its effort to provide security for Ghanaians.
The assurance follows an alleged leaked audio by the NDC, to create fear and panic in Ghanaians during the 2020 election.
Addressing a press briefing in Accra on Thursday, the Minister said that the NPP Government will continue to resource and assist security agencies to forestall any conspiracies to commit crime or acts that create a state of insecurity in Ghana.
“The capacity and determination of the state to maintain peace and security and protect Ghana’s enviable image remains unchanged; and the Akufo-Addo administration will not renege on its responsibility in this field,” he asaid.
Meanwhile, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah urged all stakeholders of the Ghanaian democracy to seriously take a dim view of acts that have the potential to undermine the nation’s democracy.
“Leadership from across the Political and civil society landscape should as a matter of urgency take a keen interest in complimenting the efforts of the state in further deepening our democracy and security,” he said.
“Government will continue to act in accordance with law and best practice in preserving the security and the sense of security and will deal resolutely with any persons found culpable in an effort to undermine the sense of the security in the state,” he added.
