Be serious about the president’s security – Analyst tells security operatives
A security analyst and chairman of the Civic Forum
Initiative (CFI), has bemoaned the security lapses
involving president Akufo-Addo’s security
detail.

A video that went viral of a cameraman facing
president Akufo-Addo directly to take his shots,
during the president’s maiden state of the
nation address, has generated huge discussions in
the media.

Many have questioned why there seems to be
continuous breach of security protocol around the
president of the republic, particularly at public
functions. Speaking with 3FM News, Major General
Nii Carl Coleman (Retd) charged the security
operatives to do more, in providing adequate
security for the first gentleman of the land.

“I have serious concerns with the way we handle
our security generally. It looks like in this
country everybody thinks that he or she has a
right to do whatever he wants to do, he is doing
his duties.

You present serious security dilemma for the
security operatives if you don’t adhere to the
rules of the game.” He added, “The security
operatives need to go back to the drawing board as
far as their security plans are concerned. This is
the number one gentleman of the land and we must
ensure that everything possible is done to give
him that protection”.

Major Gen. Coleman believes it will be too risky
for the country if the security allows people to
get too close to the president especially at
public functions.

“Getting too close to the president is a serious
risk, and I don’t think that anywhere in this
world where they take security serious will allow
such things to happen”.

He noted “And I have always said that in this
modern times, you don’t need to be that close to
be able to get a good shot, we should keep them
away as far as possible and at the same time
allowing them enough room to do their work”.
