Security services are ready for Dec. 7 - Bani
Mr Prosper Bani, the Minister of The Interior, has
said the security forces are prepared to usher the
country through the December 7 General Election
peacefully.

“I know their alertness, their professionalism,
and their commitment to duty will take us through
the elections,” he stated.

Mr Bani who was addressing this year's Bands
Competition of the Security Agencies (BACOSA) in
Ho, therefore called on the citizenry to have
confidence in them and collaborate with them for
peaceful polls.

He, however, warned that any citizen or group of
people who disturbed that process would be
'addressed' within the confines of the laws.

The Minister cautioned against the misuse of
social media on Election Day, saying, though the
Government had decided not to interfere with the
use of social media during the period it was
important that users of the mediums did so
responsibly by transmitting only credible
information on the elections.

He reminded the public that it was only the
Electoral Commission that had the responsibility
to announce the official results of the
elections.

Madam Helen Adjoa Ntoso, the Volta Regional
Minister, in a speech read on her behalf, assured
of free, fair and peaceful elections in the
Region.

“The Volta Region is enjoying a high level of
respect, cooperation and support among members of
the security services, so we are sure of safety
and free, fair elections,” she explained.
