The Member of Parliament for the Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga is questioning the monthly allocation of a whopping Gh¢6m every month to the National Security Minister, to maintain peace and order in Bawku.
Mahama Ayariga who was speaking on Woezor TV’s Morning Update programme at Bolgatanga on Sunday, August 4, 2024 dared the National Security Minister to deny.
“As the people of Bawku are grappling with insecurity. I can tell you on authority, because I have the evidence. that the National Security Minister receives a cheque for 6million cedis every month while the people are suffering, sleeping in curfew ” – he noted with concern
According to him, the Nana Akufo Addo – Bawumia government is simply exploiting the crisis with such huge payments.
“They created this problem largely as a result of the misrepresentations and today our people are grappling with curfew” he added
The high level of deprivation, lack of basic amenities and the increasing poverty levels over the years is becoming unbearable. Can you imagine what these monies. at least 1m cedis could have done to improve lives if it had been paid directly to District Assemblies “ he quizzed
