Titus Glover, former Greater Accra Regional Minister, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to hold regular press briefings as a way of keeping the government accountable as per reports from Ghana Web.
In a recent interview, Glover emphasized the importance of the opposition engaging directly with Ghanaians through such platforms.
“It is our right, our constitutional duty to explain things to Ghanaians so they understand,” Glover remarked, revealing the responsibility of political leaders to ensure transparency and informed public discourse.
His comments come amid concerns over the treatment of officials from the previous government by state security agencies.
Glover highlighted specific cases where he believes more lenient approaches could have been taken, especially regarding bail conditions.
He pointed to an instance where a gentleman was required to provide landed property as part of his bail, suggesting that such stringent conditions were unnecessary.
“They asked a gentleman to bring landed properties. So, if he didn’t have it, he would’ve been behind bars till now,” he lamented.
This, according to Glover, reflects a broader issue of fairness in the judicial system that needs urgent attention.
He believes that the NPP, as a major political force, should take the initiative in ensuring that issues like these are brought to the forefront, through consistent communication with the public.
