The Minority Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has chided the Chairman of Parliament\u2019s Defence and Interior Committee, Collins Owusu Amankwah, for suggesting that the North Tongu MP, would be dragged before the Privileges Committee over a press conference he addressed\u00a0in relation to Ghanaians fighting for the so-called Islamic State.<\/p>\n
Following the Minority\u2019s press conference last week, which highlighted a report from the Libyan government suggesting that between 50 to 100 Ghanaians have joined the terrorist group, ISIS, Mr. Amankwah said the\u00a0claims that had been made<\/span> were unsubstantiated<\/a>,<\/strong><\/span><\/span> and had the potential of jeopardizing national security.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”LbHvwVJHKhuOH7jF14HDsXnT3MhdhopO”]\u201cIssues they raised were not substantiated. The issues bordered on security matters and security matters are not like Makola or Kejetia matters where you can handle it anyhow.
