The terror attack at the British Parliament on Wednesday, has seen some Members of Ghana’s Parliament revive the debate of the security of Ghana’s legislature, with the Chairman of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Patrick Boamah, saying MPs are vulnerable in chamber.<\/p>\n
The last significant debate about MPs’ security followed the murder of the\u00a0Abuakwa North MP, J.B. Danquah-Adu in February 2016.<\/p>\n
But critics of the proposal rather argued for improved security for all Ghanaians and not just \u00a0for\u00a0selected few.<\/p>\n
Mr. Boamah, in an interview with Citi News’<\/strong> Duke Mensah Opoku, stressed that the MPs’ call for improved security did not mean a disregard for the security of the general citizenry.<\/p>\n
