A former Attorney General, Martin Amidu, has voiced strong criticism over the government's handling of security concerns in the Upper East Region (UER) ahead of the 2024 elections, particularly the reshuffle of Regional Ministers.
In his latest article, he argues that this reshuffle is an intentional move that risks destabilising the Bawku Traditional Area, a region already steeped in security challenges and chieftaincy disputes, potentially disenfranchising thousands of voters.
In his recent article, Amidu questions why, amid minimal reshuffles in the past, the government swapped the Regional Minister of the UER with that of the Upper West Region just eight months before a national election.
