Should Ghanaians Demand The Resignation Of All Those Tasked To Ensure The Safety Of Our Republic - And Ensure The Security Of The Citizenry?

In light of recent tragic events - including the cowardly and abominable gunning down of Hon. Ekow Kwansah Hayford, Mfantseman Member of Parliament, if President Akufo-Addo does not fire all his security chiefs, plus the ministers of interior and defence, he will be doing a huge disservice to our nation, ooooo. Yooooooo...

In one's humble view, the president must move rapidly, to merge the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Immigration Service, the Ghana National Fire Service and the Ghana Prison Service, to become the fourth armed service, of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF). In an age when global terrorism is knocking on our doors, they all deserve the same compensation packages as the GAF, wai. Yooooooo...

When responding to emergencies, they must leverage bleeding-edge District and Regional Command Centres - which ought to be outsourced to, and, built, by Mr. Alfred Aning, the Ghanaian-American business executive, who built America's most modern private-sector Corporate Command Centre. Yoooooooo...

On a 24/7 basis, to quickly locate dangerous criminals, the Homeland Forces, must also utilise Kalashnikov drones fitted with thermal imaging cameras, using AI facial recognition technology, which rely on the robust and world-class What3Words digital location and addressing system. Yooooooo...

The steadily deteriorating security situation, across our homeland Ghana, must be laid firmly at the doorsteps of those who have been toying with the safety of our Republic, and the personal security, of the citizenry, by packing our national security apparatus (according to bush telegraph sources), with unprofessional myrmidon-thugs, hithereto employed by the private militias, of New Patriotic Party (NPP) hardliners: the Delta Force and the Invincible Forces.

Since we are lumbered with hard-of-hearing ruling-elites, for emphasis, one repeats: President AkufoAddo, must move swiftly to fire all his security chiefs, plus the ministers of interior and defence, and merge the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Immigration Service, the Ghana National Fire Service and the Ghana Prison Service, to become the fourth armed service, of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF). Yoooooooo...

They must be trained by the best private military contractors from Russia and Israel, to become a crack world-class, paramilitary no-nonsense shoot-to-kill anti-terrorist force, and ought to be known as the Homeland Forces. Simple.

Above all, let's back them with suitable legislation, to indemnify them for shooting to kill murderous people, such as the dreadful killers of Hon. Ekow Kwansah Hayford. Who born dog? Haaba. Yoooooooo...

For emphasis, dear reader, the Interior and Defence ministries should be merged, and the most effective minister, thus far, since the government of President Akufo-Addo came to power in January 2017, Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Atta, appointed as the first Homeland Security Minister. Yoooooooo...

Finally, perhaps the question we must all ponder over is: Should Ghanaians demand the resignation of all those tasked to ensure the safety of our Republic - and ensure the security of the citizenry? Hmmmm, Oman Ghana, eyeasem, oooo. Enti yeweiye paaaaa enei? Asem kesie, bi, ebeba debi, ankasa, oooo. Yoooooooo...
