\"InteriorAlliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has followed closely the security situation and the respect for institutions of state with alarm.

Under president Mills, it seems the BNI and National security apparatus is subject to their own laws and not the laws of the state.<\/p>\n

The on-going stand-off between the police and the BNI at the Osu Circuit Court undermines the authority of the court and attempts to intimidate the judiciary. The national security has now become the tool of the NDC government instead of concentrating on their core duties as a national institution.<\/p>\n

Most alarming is the silence of the Minister for Interior on this particular matter and many others in the past. Their inaction at the violence at the Akwatia by-elections, searching for a dog at one Mr Alfred Obgame\u2019s house, and seeking to arrest party activists in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

It is evident that, the heads of the Bureau of National Investigation, National Security, The Attorney General, The National Security Advisor to the President and The Minister for Interior are unable to perform their duties of protecting the citizenry.<\/p>\n

AFAG therefore calls for the immediate dismissal of the Interior Minister by the president and necessary actions taken to restore the broken down security situation in the country.<\/p>\n
