Major (Rtd) Derek Oduro, the Deputy Minister of Defence, has described as appalling the conduct of the military officer seen in a viral video kicking against the construction of a new chamber for parliament.
Describing the soldier’s conduct as ‘abnormal’, Major Oduro said the officer in question is being interrogated and would be charged if he is found to have breached the rules and regulations of the army.
The military officer is not in guardroom as it has been rumoured. But I must say that he is being investigated. If he is found guilty of things he has been accused of, then he would be charged like a normal civilian who has breached the laws and on other hand, if he is found to have not wronged, then he would be set free,” he stated on Neat FM.
He said the army has a disciplinary Board where he would be investigated and the results after the probe will determine the punishment he receives.
“Soldiers have a way of channeling their grievances. They have Public Relations Officers and even commanders who are always ready to listen to their pleas during durbars and as soldiers, you need to channel your worries to such avenues and not behave like civilians. it is therefore abnormal for a soldier to make such pronouncements. It’s very embarrassing,” he said angrily.

THIS SOLDIER IN THE VIDEO IS STUPIDDD. HE IS NOT SMART. HE ALLOWED HIS FRIENDS TO FOOLEDD HIM. SUCH SOLDIERS ALWAYS ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE USED TO CAUSE HARM AND DUMPED BY THEIR FELLOW SOLDIERS TO ACHIEVE THEIR SELFISH AMBITIONS. THIS SOLDIER MIGHT HAVE BEEN PLAYING AND JOKING FOR WHAT HE DID. BUT HIS FRIENDS WHO TOOK THE VIDEO ARE SO EVIL AND DIABOLIC THAT THEY BEGAN TO SPREAD IT AND NOW HE IS IN TROUBLE. I PITY HIM BUT IN THIS WORLD THERE IS NO ROOM FOR STUPIDITYYY. FOR SOLDIERS, ONE GRAVE A MISTAKE IS SO HARMFUL TO BEAR. HIS FRIENDS HAS BETRAYED HIM, NEXT TIME HE SHOULD BE CAREFUL WITH HIS FRIENDS. THOSE WHO CAPTURED THE VIDEO MUST ALSO BE APPREHENDED. THEY ARE INSINCERE AND THEY HAVE BEEN WICKED TO THE GUY IN THE VIDEO. SUCH SOLDIERS ARE MANIPULATIVE, SELFISH AND DANGEROUS. THEY USED OTHER OTHER SOLDIERS TO CAUSE HARM AND USED OTHER MEANS TO BETRAY AND GET RID OF THEM.
THE ACTION OF THIS SOLDIER IN THE VIDEO IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNETHICAL. SOLDIERS OF GHANA ARE GHANAIANS, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS. HOWEVER, SOLDIERS HAVE ETHICAL CODES TO REGULATE THEIR FUNCTIONS AND ACTIONS AS MILITARY PERSONS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE IN THE ARMED FORCES. THE COST OF INDISCIPLINE IN THE ARMY, AS IT IS WITNESSED IN 1979, IS VERY EXPENSIVE PRIZE TO BE ENTERTAINED. FOR A SOLDIER TO EXHIBIT, IN MILITARY UNIFORM, SUCH AND ANGER ON A NATIONAL DISCOURSE, BETRAYS THE INHERENT INDISCIPLINE IN HIM. IT IS NOT WRONG FOR A SOLDIER TO EXPRESS HIS VIEW ON NATIONAL MATTERS BUT FOR A SOLDIER TO EXHIBIT SUCH INDISCIPLINE SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. HE DESERVES TO BE DISMISSED.
This means that, the guys in green also feel the pain in the country. is neither dede or gyan, coach or NC. is about the bad and ***barred word*** nature politicians always wanna ste.al from the public purse. protecting the public purse indeed. we don't wanna hear about NDC or mahama, we entrusted you to do good to us not to compare ya in.competence with mahama wrecklessness. a country who leaders wanna always enjoy not sacrifice a lil bit mpo. leave the green man alone, he said the right thing even if at te wrong time. using the mouth not the gun must be tolerated and not be punished.
What this Officer said and the General uterances of Hon Kennedy Agyepong which one is more serious and a threat to our National Security
Truth be told. The soldier went too far. Out of anger comes the foolishness of a man's heart. I think anger made him forgot his code of conduct, forgetting that he was wearing a military uniform.
It is not your responsibility as a minister to determine or prescribe what must be done to the officer. It is the duty of the military high command to follow it code of conduct. We are tired of you politicians.
