Stop Calling For Extra Protection For MPs, The Rural Farmer Also Deserves Protection

The Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Boahen Nana Obiri has raise concern pertaining to the restriction of protection to only MPs.

According to the Deputy General Secretary, we should stop calling for extra protection for parliamentarians because they are not the only people who matter most in the country.

Excerpt of the interview conducted by GhanaWeb reads;

“Every Ghanaian needs security; it is not only parliamentarians. We should stop talking about parliamentarians getting extra security. The parliamentarian is a human being; the same as the medical doctor, lecturer, and lawyer. So why should we restrict ourselves as if it’s only the parliamentarian and judges that need extra security. What about the rural farmer? We all need security.”

His comment comes after the late Mfantseman lawmaker, Ekow Quansah Hayford was shot dead by armed robbers.
