Parliament has called on National Security Minister Albert Kan-Dapaah to appear before it on November 9, 2023, to discuss alleged military attacks on Garu and Tempane residents in the Upper East Region.
The summons was issued by the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Andrew Amoako Asiamah, who presided over proceedings at the time the concern was raised by some Members of Parliament.
The Second Deputy Speaker on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, 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.”
Over 50 people were hospitalized after some military personnel allegedly unleashed mayhem on the Garu residents over the weekend.
