Member of Parliament for Assin South Constituency, John Ntim Fordjour has described the recent reshuffling of top military officers as a reckless decision that could have serious consequences for Ghana's security and democracy. "This decision is most regrettable, disruptive, costly, and must never again be countenanced in our Fourth Republic," he declared.
He argued that the president's decision to remove senior officers and appoint new commanders was not based on professional considerations but rather on political motives. "President Mahama says he cannot work with the senior officers.
If you can't work with them, then who can you work with?" he questioned.
Fordjour pointed out that Ghana's armed forces had expanded significantly, with well-trained officers who had years of service left.
