Minister for the Interior, Alhaji Mubarak Muntaka Muhammed has cleared the air on the presumptions of the government’s silence regarding the chaos which took place during the rerun of the Ablekuma North parliamentary elections last Friday.
The Minister, while speaking at the first edition of the Government Accountability Series, indicated that many critics have raised interrogations on the silence of the government-particularly President John Mahama regarding the issue after over 72 hours.
“Almost all of us at the top have condemned this, check and see in the past you will not get that,” he stated.
The Minister however noted that the President was not in the country at time of the chaos, hence per administrative hierarchy, the Vice President, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman was next in line at the helm of affairs.
He revealed that the Vice President was quick to condemn the said acts and issued for an immediate probe by law enforcers into the matter. “The Vice President has condemned that. The President is out of the country so currently the Vice President is leading us and she condemned it in no uncertain terms and she instructed me and I already told her I have informed the IGP.”
