Residents of Ashaiman are contemplating petitioning the Speaker of Parliament over the delay in adopting the Defence and Interior Committee report on the military brutalities in Ashaiman.
The report, which is yet to be adopted by Parliament, found the military guilty of brutalizing some residents of Ashaiman in March 2023 after the death of a soldier and recommended that the soldiers involved be dealt with in accordance with the law.
The report also recommended that the victims of the incident be adequately compensated.
Speaking to Citi News, the Member of Parliament for Ashaiman, Ernest Norgbey, says the residents are demanding immediate implementation of the committee’s recommendations.
“The people of Ashaiman are contemplating petitioning the Speaker because it is long overdue for the report to be taken and the recommendations of the committee to be adhered to. So, the stakeholders of Ashaiman are contemplating presenting a petition to the Speaker for the report to be taken to the floor of the House.”
