The New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus in Parliament has alleged that former National Security Minister, Kofi Totobi Quakyi and former National Security Coordinator, Larry Gbevlo-Lartey are behind recent acts of post-election violence involving suspected thugs linked to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to the Majority caucus, several violent incidents have occurred following the 2024 general elections, including attacks on government officials and state institutions.
They claim these acts are being carried out by individuals affiliated with the NDC.
Addressing the media, Deputy Majority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei expressed concern over the security implications of the violence.
“We have received credible intelligence indicating that certain elements of the NDC leadership are orchestrating these acts. Mr Totobi Quakyi and Col. (Rtd) Larry Gbevlo-Lartey are reportedly leading these efforts, inspiring thugs to perpetrate violence against innocent Ghanaians,” she said.
Madam Appiagyei added that the situation appears to be escalating as the inauguration of President-elect John Mahama approaches, which raises concerns about the safety of public officials and citizens.
She urged Ghanaians to stay vigilant and report suspicious activities to law enforcement agencies.
The accusations come shortly after President-elect John Mahama appointed Totobi Quakyi and Gbevlo-Lartey to a six-member interim national security team ahead of formal appointments.
The Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh also called on the Mr Mahama to take immediate steps to address the violence.
“They claim they don’t know anything about them, but they were chanting ‘3y3 Zu, 3y3 Za’ and they were responding to them,” he said.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh warned that the NPP would take lawful measures to protect citizens and institutions if the situation persists.
"If they do not show leadership, we will advise ourselves and as the law permits, we will resort to any means, legal, permissible within the four walls of our laws to ensure that we’re not taken for granted,” he stated.
