Stop advocating coup d’etats in Ghana – Deputy Defence Minister
A word of caution has been sent by Deputy Defense Minister Kofi Amankwah-Manu to persons advocating a military take over or simply put coup de tat’ in Ghana to stop making such utterances.
He explained that such utterances create fear and panic and stall development.
He gave this advice whiles briefing the press on the sidelines of a programme to birth a livelihood and empowerment project for the youth of the Atwima Kwawoma Constituency.
The legislator for Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency added that people who trumpet coups do so out of ignorance because they do not know the consequences of coups.
“Ghana has seen it before and we all know how devastating it was, we lost lives and also lagged development,” he said.
