Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has entreated the security agencies to discharge their duties professionally before, during and after the December 7 Election to safeguard the peace and harmony of the country. He decried the numerous disinformation and misinformation campaigns targeting the civil populace, the military, and the Government in this electioneering. However, Dr Bawumia urged the military to conduct themselves professionally to ensure the country's stability and tenets of democracy were upheld. Dr Bawumia gave the advice during the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC) joint graduation ceremony of Senior Staff Course 45 and Master of Science Degree in Defence and International Politics for the 2023/2024 Academic Year in Accra on Friday.
"As the nation goes to the polls in December to choose a leader and representatives to parliament, it is imperative to conduct yourselves professionally to ensure the stability and the tenets of democracy are upheld always," he said.
"In the Fourth Republic, governments have always depended on your professionalism, discipline and resolve to discharge your duties without fear or favour," Dr Bawumia said. In all, 98 senior officers from the Ghana Armed Forces and 16 allied African countries graduated with Past Staff Course (PSC) Certificates while 42 civilians received Master of Science Degree (MSc) in Defence and International Politics.
