The Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Samuel Nartey George has questioned what the military was doing at a demonstration.
He said the military has not been trained on how to control crowd and he was expecting to see the police.
Speaking in an interview at the National Democratic Congress March for Justice, Hon Sam George said “The military officers are not trained for crowd control so what is their business on the road.”
“As organisers, we have no consultation whatsoever with the military, we have had consultations with the police even as far as agreeing on what side of the roads to walk on, where to make the turns and everything, so why bring in the military.”
He also said one of the reasons for the demonstration was the excess use of the military by the government.
“To those who sat at the meeting last night and decided that they are going to put the military to meet us halfway, we’ve seen your decision,” he said.
He also said “Has the IGP said that he is incapable of handling the situation? Since when has the military been the ones responsible for security in a demonstration. The military is always a backup when the police themselves makes the request for the military.”
