The Deputy Minister of Interior, Mr. James Agalga, has denied assertions that the Minister of Interior, Mr. Kwesi Ahwoi has abandoned his post but<\/span> is away on his annual leave.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Interior has come under criticisms for allegedly abandoning his post in the midst of the crises at Bimbilla.<\/p>\n

But a press statement issued by Mr. Agalga<\/span> indicated that the Minister only obtained the permission of the President to proceed on his annual leave.<\/p>\n

It noted that \u201c the impression being created that the Minister has vacated his post while people are dying in this country must be debunked\u201d<\/p>\n

It clarified that the Minister of Defense, Hon Mark Woyongo, has been acting as the Minister for Interior since the Minister proceeded on leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note that the Deputy Minister for the Interior, Hon. James Agalga and other security heads in the country are all at post<\/span>,\u201d it noted.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/b>, Mr. Agalga<\/span> further stated that Mr. Kwesi Ahwoi should not be criticized for his decision since he followed due processes before embarking on his annual leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say that Mr. Kwesi Ahwoi was in Brazil and was enjoying himself while Bimbilla was in turmoil presupposes that when he left, there was a vacuum created.<\/p>\n

I want you to understand that during the crises at Bimbilla, there was somebody acting and that person acted in a way that an Interior Minister ought to have acted,\u201d Mr. Agalga<\/span> said.<\/p>\n
