Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has announced that he will be nominating persons for the security positions by the end of the week.
Speaking at the Bawku Naba Palace during an address to the chiefs and people of the Kusaug Traditional Area, President Mahama said, “And so within this week, we’ll do the appointments of the Minister for Defence, the Minister for Interior, the National Security Coordinator, the National Security Advisor, and the BNI Director; and when these appointments are made, I am going to charge them to make Bawku one of their major priorities.”
He added that “This last election has cemented our reputation as the leading democracy in Africa and a good part of the thanks goes to you the security services who have maintained peace.
“We still have threats to our peace that we must continue to look at internally and externally. Internally to do with chieftaincy disputes and some incidents of armed robbery and things like that. Externally to do with the threats on our northern borders and so we cannot let our vigilance down.”
