The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has lashed out at President Akufo-Addo for taking away his military protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said government led by Mr Akufo-Addo engaged in hypocrisy and double standards in the withdrawal of his military detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I was second deputy Speaker, the Office of the same President approved his staff sergeant to by military attach\u00e9.<\/em> For four good years, the staff sergeant was with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow, I\u2019ve been elected as the Speaker, which is a higher position, and the same president says I\u2019m not entitled to military attachment,\u201d he lamented in a media engagement on Friday, October 29, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In January this year, the Chief of Staff of the Ghana Armed Forces withdrew military officers attached to the Speaker on grounds that they were attached \u201cwithout proper procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n A letter written to the Speaker indicated that efforts were being made to regularise their attachment, something that has still not been done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
