The Majority Caucus in Parliament has accused Kofi Totobi Quakyi, a former Minister for National Security, and Larry Gbevlo-Lartey, a former National Security Coordinator, of orchestrating a series of violent incidents during the election.
Speaking at a press briefing, Deputy Majority Leader Patricia Appiagyei lamented that the incidents have implications for national security.
She claimed that the incidents are linked to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), including attacks on government officials and state institutions.
“We have received reliable intelligence indicating that acts of violence and thuggery are being orchestrated by certain elements of the NDC leadership. Totobi Quakyi and Col. (Rtd) Larry Gbevlo-Lartey are key figures behind these thugs, inspiring them to commit violence against innocent Ghanaians,” she stated.
She further disclosed that they have received information that the attacks would be intensified immediately after President-elect John Dramani Mahama is sworn in.
The MP has therefore advised Ghanaians to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to security agencies.
The Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, on his part, called on the incoming president to demonstrate leadership by addressing the alleged violence.
“They [the NDC] claim ignorance, yet these hooligans chant their slogans, ‘3y3 Zu, 3y3 Za,’ while causing chaos. If the President-elect does not act, we will be forced to take necessary legal measures to protect the nation’s security and ensure no one takes us for granted,” Annoh-Dompreh added.
