Isaac Wassa Lincoln<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Corporal of the 2 Recce Regiment of the Ghana<br \/>\nArmy based in Sunyani is in guardroom for breaching Ghana Armed Forces<br \/>\nstandards which prohibit soldiers from passing political remarks. <\/p>\n<p>Cpl Isaac Wassa Lincoln caused a stir on social<br \/>\nmedia when he joined the raging discourse on the planned construction of a<br \/>\n$200m 450-seat chamber for the House of Parliament with unpalatable remarks<br \/>\nabout Members of Parliament (MPs) and by extension one of the arms of<br \/>\ngovernment.<\/p>\n<p>The soldier is said to be a member of varied<br \/>\nsocial media platforms where he posted his unsavoury remarks about the Legislature<br \/>\nin a manner which left those who understand military discipline stunned. <\/p>\n<p>The Military Police, one of whose functions is<br \/>\nthe enforcement of military laws, have already arrested the defaulting soldier<br \/>\nand preparing him to face due military process which is clearly stated in the<br \/>\nrelevant law \u2018Armed Forces Regulation Vol 1, Article 19, section 14 subsection<br \/>\n2 and Article 19.36\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>He would be marched to face a superior officer<br \/>\nwithout a headgear and his charges read to him followed by the appropriate<br \/>\nsanction which could be severe. <\/p>\n<p>Although he did not pass uncharitable remarks<br \/>\nabout the President who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, he did<br \/>\nask him in the video not to allow Parliament to go ahead with the planned<br \/>\nproject something which smacks of disrespect.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> can confirm<br \/>\nthat the soldier passed the remarks on the drill square of the Recce Regiment<br \/>\nin Accra in uniform and the colours of his unit clear on his chest as though<br \/>\ndaring his superiors to do their worst. <\/p>\n<p>The soldier who passed out in December 2011 at<br \/>\nthe Army Recruit Training Centre at Shai Hills is under the radar of the<br \/>\nDefence Intelligence over activities which do not conform to military<br \/>\nstandards. <\/p>\n<p>He was in Accra recently for what in the<br \/>\nparlance of the military is called a conversion course which lasted for two<br \/>\nweeks on the operation of a new set of armoured cars called Otorkor. <\/p>\n<p>When new brands of equipment are imported<br \/>\npersonnel must undergo a course on its peculiar features hence the reference<br \/>\n\u2018conversion.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It has been observed that the soldier knew what he was doing, having recorded his remarks<br \/>\nhimself and posted same on the social media platforms on which he is active.<\/p>\n<p>He has broken the hearts of many a retired<br \/>\nmilitary officers and other ranks because as one of them said anonymously \u201cthis<br \/>\nwould send a negative impression about the Ghana Armed Forces to the<br \/>\ninternational community where Ghanaian soldiers have carved an enviable image<br \/>\nfor the country and the quality of discipline they exude in their peacekeeping<br \/>\noperations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kumbungu MP, Ras Mubarak, even took exception to the soldier\u2019s remarks saying it breaches military law.<\/p>\n<p>In a <em>Facebook<\/em> post, Ras Mubarak said, \u201cThe fact that we want the chamber<br \/>\ndropped doesn\u2019t mean we should promote indiscipline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat, however, doesn\u2019t give an officer in uniform the right to misconduct himself.
