From what the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr is saying, Captain Mahama and other soldiers were stationed at Obuasi-Denkyire to protect a foreign mining company–perhaps, the reason why his mission out there still remains sketchy.
Speaking on Radio Gold yesterday, Kwesi Pratt said:
“What we are discussing is a national security situation; it’s a major challenge for national cohesion, a functioning state. What we are discussing is a sliding into a banana republic…what we are talking about is impunity; the lack of faith in our security establishment. The refusal of state actors to punish crime, that’s what we are talking about…and we should focus attention on that in order to deal with the problem”
