Some armed military personnel have been sighted in areas close to polling stations at the Assin North by-election.
The development has caught the attention of the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, who is questioning who those officers have been deployed to protect.
In the footage in the possession of newsalertgh.com, Sam George is said to have engaged the personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces and indicated to them that it is the job of the Ghana Police Service to provide security for the by-election.
“It is only, the president and the vice president and of late the attorney general who uses military… even the speaker (of parliament) have been denied military. Are you with the minister of defence?” he quizzed.
“We don’t want Ayawaso West Wuogon… you are my people, am begging you, people… I like you and you like me so don’t let us have any skirmishes,” he said.
The military person did not give any straight answer as to why they were in Assin North. They were however, not happy with the fact that their interaction with the MP was being recorded.
