Reshuffling the military this way is risky for national security – Ntim Fordjour

Concerns have been raised regarding the recent reshuffling of military personnel in Ghana, with Deputy Minister of Education, Ntim Fordjour, warning that such moves could jeopardize national security. He emphasized that altering the leadership within the armed forces may disrupt established protocols and weaken defense capabilities. Fordjour stressed the importance of maintaining continuity in military leadership to ensure effective management and operational readiness, especially amid global security challenges.

He cautioned that frequent changes at the top could lead to instability and confusion within ranks, undermining trust among service members. The deputy minister called for a more thoughtful approach to military appointments, advocating for stability that fosters confidence both within the army and among citizens. As tensions rise in various regions globally, Fordjour's remarks highlight a crucial need for strategic planning in military operations to safeguard Ghana’s sovereignty. The government is urged to consider these implications seriously as it navigates personnel changes within the armed forces.
