The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has criticized President John Dramani Mahama for the delay in appointing a new Minister for Defence.
Rev. Fordjour described the delay as an "irresponsible delay" and warned that it has left Ghana exposed to security threats. The vacancy has existed for almost three months since the passing of the late Dr. Edward Omane Boamah.
Nearly three months without a substantive Defence Minister is a dangerous gamble and reckless potential compromise of our territorial integrity. What a dangerous inaction!
Rev. Fordjour expressed his concerns on his social media page, emphasizing the critical nature of the ministry and the need for a substantive successor.
