Member Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Seth Kwame Acheampong, says in spite of Wednesday’s clash between a group of soldiers and some police personnel in Tamale in the Northern Region, the country’s security is still intact.
According to him, it is important that Ghanaians allow the right authorities to investigate the matter.
“Parliament is dealing with the issue and so there is the need to allow authorities to investigate the issue before any punishment can be given, else we can’t jump to conclusions,” he said.
