Protecting the Public Purse: Activities and Funding of the National Security must be probed

 

President Akufo-Addo claims that the settling of Chieftaincy disputes accounts for the bulk of the National Security budget which is not accounted for to anybody, not even Parliament.

National Security has become a blank cheque for any amount and for hushing virtually anything.

National Security is synonymous with avoiding ACCOUNTABILITY; the recent classification of all matters relating to the Presidential Jet rides by Akufo-Addo including the cost as TOP SECRET National Security issue to avoid being scrutinised by Parliament is a classic example…

THE SERWAA BRONI SAGA:

National Security’s infamous Col. Opoku who has been promoted to Brigadier General in charge of the 64 Battalion by President Akufo-Addo has been named by Serwah Broni as one of the mediators in their Sex Scandal.

Col. Opoku prior to his promotion had been named in the INFAMOUS Ayawaso West Wuogon Election Violence saga and the National Security abduction and torture of Journalists from Citi FM and Citi TV…

Serwaa Broni further claimed that the money given to some prominent people to be used for settling the dìspute between her and President Nana Akufo-Addo over their amorous relationship was STOLEN by them…

Was the mediation money from National Security?

The Deputy National Security Coordinator turned ‘Presidential PIMP’ Hopeson Adorye paid GHc20,000 to Serwaa Broni, booked her a hotel room which he is alleged to have broken into after staging an armed robbery using National Security Officers to steal her phone and stall her while Hopeson Adorye combs through her laptop for videos, pictures, messages and audios of President Nana Akufo-Addo and Serwah…

Secret Recodings made in the office of the Police CID, Maame Tiwaa Addo Dankwa, who has been promoted by President Akufo-Addo to head EOCO have been made public…

In the damming viral audio recording; Maame Tiwaa and her deputies were heard in a discussion with Serwaa Broni and Hopeson Adorye confirming the hotel break-in, staged robbery, the GHc20,000 school fees payment, Presidential Jet rides with Serwah Broni and other aspects of the Serwaa Broni/Akufo-Addo scandal which the CID promised to investigate…

National Security must officially speak to the Serwaa Broni/Akufo-Addo scandal, confirming or denying the allegations of criminality made against National Security…

Did any National Security money find its way into the Serwaa Broni affair?

President Akufo-Addo is the Chairman of the National Security Council, he must Speak directly to the Serwaa Broni affair as calls for Article 69 of the Constitution to be triggered intensifies…

“BE CITIZENS NOT SPECTATORS.”

Ghanaians must demand ACCOUNTABILITY from the National Security and the MONEY allocated to National Security from the taxes paid by poor Ghanaian taxpayers…

Ghana is BROKE and HIGHLY DEBT DISTRESSED, the economy has all but collapsed, the Cedi is rapidly depreciating, inflation is soaring imposing unbearable hardship on Ghanaians…

We must protect the Public Purse.

National Security must be probed by Parliament, nothing can be off limits…

GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND GHANA.
