Yesterday, in the Parliament of Ghana, the Minister for Defence, Hon. Edward Omane Boamah, sounded a warning to lawmakers and the general public to exercise caution when discussing matters related to national security and defence.
While responding to questions from Members of Parliament, the Defence Minister emphasized the importance of being mindful of the sensitive nature of security issues.
He cautioned that loose talk or irresponsible discussions could compromise the country’s security and put lives at risk.
“The security and defence of our nation are matters of utmost importance, and we must all be careful about how we discuss them,” the Minister stated.
“We must avoid making comments that could be misinterpreted or used to undermine our national security efforts.”
The Defence Minister’s warning comes at a time when Ghana is facing various security challenges, including terrorism threats and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.
The Minister’s caution is seen as a reminder to all citizens to be responsible and patriotic in their discussions and actions.
The Parliamentarians present in the House took note of the Minister’s warning and acknowledged the need for caution and responsibility in discussing security matters.
