The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Tamale North Constituency, Alhassan Suhuyini, is wondering why President Akufo-Addo has appointed so many Ministers and appointees in charge of security yet there is the upsurge of murder cases in the country.
According to him, "we have Interior Minister, Defence Minister, National Security Advisor, Minister of State in Charge of National Security and so on yet the country's image is being tarnished with embarrassing headlines within a short period with murder cases.
Mr Suhuyini's was reacting to the murder of Ahmed Suale; an investigative journalist and a partner of Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Speaking on Joynews’ Newsfile program, Saturday, the MP for Tamale North said “never has Ghana been hit with very disgraceful and embarrassing headlines within such a short period of time; 2 years, international headlines, embarrassing international headlines, never before. You recall the speech theft by our president, it gave us international headlines we were all not proud of, the Australian Commonwealth games, embarrassing, Oslo Norway Chancery, international headlines that were not palatable and then the number 12 expose which has led to this matter”.
“How long will we continue to tolerate this international embarrassment? Can’t something be done about these negative headlines we are attracting? What are the long term consequences on the image of Ghana if we continue on this line?” he quizzed.
He further bemoaned the insecurity in the country and added: “for me, I am particularly disappointed in the government and in our security agencies considering the expectations that many people had; given the promises that were made to them before our last elections. I’m saying so because security has always been a concern to us and so you cannot compartmentalize a discussion of it and blame one regime but if an expectation is given; that we know the situation and so when we come we’ll do something better about it and what you get is what we currently have, then it is fair to be disappointed…..to say I’m disappointed is because I was promised as a Ghanaian”.

This my northern brother is the most u s e less MP THE NORTHERN Ghana have ever had,because of his childish understanding of national issues.At your own backyard Yendi, look at what is happening.Can we attribute it to the government?.My brother live up to expectation and reduce the notion of us being unable to reason well. Almost all the MP,s from the northern part of this country are in the news of reckless statements.From Adongo,Suhuyini,ABA Fuseini,Harina Iddrisu,Afred Mornah,Baba Kamal, Fuseini Iddrisu to Rashid Bawa etc. Reckless talk is not reserved for you,please wise up.
Please security is not a one man business. We must all be involved.
If you are not happy so what
what is the meaning of commander in chief? It is not commander in nepotism who hears nothing and sees nothing. The president flies with the presidential jet for holidays in the UK with children/grand children/great grand children but forgetting those paid the expenses incured
I can assure you that bringing police back on road will help. Handheld scanners and sort scanners can help the police to control people and their bagges where necessary. Is the ECOWAS helping Ghana?
My friend will you stop those dirty games and reason up. You can’t play politics with everything. You are matured and need to use you maturity to think better for the nation whose tax feed you.
