A former National Security advisor, Brigadier General Joseph Nunoo Mensah, is claiming Ghana’s military has been politicised; something he says is affecting the efficient execution of its mandate. “Unfortunately today in Ghana, every institution has become political.
Even the military has become political,” he said on 3FM’s Sunrise morning show on Wednesday. He claimed when they were being trained as military personnel, they were told not to mix politics with the military but they eventually “suffered for that”. “I was banned from visiting military institutions for having lunch with former President Rawlings.
That was my crime so I was banned from entering Burma Camp, even if I am dying, I couldn’t visit the 37 Military Hospital for medical attention,” he added.
He was commenting on the recent criticisms of the Bureau of National Investigations, especially in the wake of the arrest of a Ghanaian-Lebanses, Fadi Dabbousie, which has caused many to accuse it of being an appendage of the government.
