The Office of the President has denied claims that at least 77 security personnel at the Jubilee House–the seat of government–have left their respective posts over an alleged “unfair treatment”.
The denial comes after one Charles Owusu is said to have claimed that some seventy-seven personnel of the jubliee house have left their duty posts.
He made this allegation on Friday, September 1, 2023, whiles speaking in the studios of Accra-based Peace FM.
“…Go to jubilee house and see, the police, soldiers and everyone is complaining. It got to a point where almost seventy-seven security personnel decided to leave jubilee house and go back to their units…. What type of treatment are you giving them?” Mr. Owusu is quoted saying.
However, the Office of the President setting the record straight noted that at no point in the tenure of Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, from 2017 till date have seventy-seven security personnel left the jubilee house to their respective units.
“Indeed, no security officer has left jubilee house because of unfair treatment meted out to them at the seat of the presidency.
“It is important to stress that any security officer who has left Jubilee House either been due to disciplinary reasons, or a voluntary decision made by the security officer in question,” the statement signed by director of communications at the presidency, Eugene Arhin emphasised.
The Office of the President added that Mr. Owusu has no evidence to buttress these ‘false claims.’
Hence, they urged the public to disregard what it termed as “false claims” and treat them with the contempt they deserve.
