Former National Security adviser, Brigadier General Nunoo-Mensah says it’s unnecessary for government to agree a deal for the establishment of an American Military Base in the country.
According to him, justification by the US Ambassador that the $20 million that Ghana stands to gain under the military is a shame deal.
“Our leaders have failed us once again and thinking about only them. How can you establish a US military base in the country and agree to gain just $20million and you think it’s best for us? Hell no. You can’t sell Ghana for such amount of money. Even International schools in the country will not charge such amount. It’s a disgrace” he said on Accra based Radio Station Neat FM.
Mr. Nunoo-Mensah’s comment follows Ambassador Jackson’s interview with Joy News arguing Ghana stands to benefit substantially from $20 million it will be given for its cooperation in the agreement.
“$20 million being invested in the Ghanaian army in a year is pretty significant return,” he said.

Strange that this retired soldier also does not know what a military base entails as compared to the agreement Ghana has with the US. Go to Japan or South Korea and you will truly know what an American military base is all about. People are talking all over the place without knowledge. This old soldier should know better.
Just go to google and type in the words: Problems of American Military bases in third world cointries. And you can read and understand well, come back here again if you could have the sense of apologising to Mr. Nunoo Mensah. I think you are one of those persons without any sense of patriotisms and also with the mentality that whites are suprior and slavery was right.It is really fisgraceful
MR. NUNOO MENSAH PLEASE SHUT-UP! YOU'RE NOW NOT CLOSE TO WHERE IMPORTANT DECISIONS ARE BEEN TAKEN SO JUST STAND OUTSIDE AND STRETCH YOUR NECK LONG ENOUGH TO LOOK IN. P E R I O D!
GHANA NEEDS AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO STATION IN GHANA.SO THAT NO EWE INWARD LOOKING /PEPENII/TANII CAN STAGE A COUP IN THE COUNTRY .BUT $20 MILLION IS NOT ENOUGH.AT LEAST $100 MILLION.
