A member of the Communication team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has queried why the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Madam Jean Mensa is protected by so many military officers.
"If you have nothing to hide, why do you need 17 soldiers protecting you? Owusu Banahene questioned while contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM's The platform programme
A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has justified why the EC boss is being protected by the military.
In a post he said: “This woman, the returning officer for the presidential election, has had her life threatened multiple times from all manner of corners, her character insulted, her integrity denigrated and the threats to her life heightened to the highest dangerous point that any public servant should endure, for the security services to consider it appropriate to offer her the highest form of protection they could. Her security at home, office and around her 24-7, is made up of a combination of soldiers and police. I am not sure she enjoys the security attention. But she understands she has to endure it. And, some of us have a problem with that?”
However, Banahene disagrees because according to him, not even President Akufo-Addo has that many soldiers around him.
"17 soldiers??? what will anybody do to you...it means you've done something which makes you think that somebody is out to get you...What do you need soldiers for? it means you are hiding something" he opined

Owusu Banahene, you have sawn discord within your members and so, there is the need to protect state asset from your diabolical thought. We won't allow your disgruntled men and women to harm the EC chairperson. Why do you think Ghana protects all former heads of state? Why do you think Ghana protects MPs, the CDS, IGP and the likes? The EC chair is an important state asset and must be protected.
Banshee, the next time you will check again, Jean Mensa will be protected by United Nations Forces. What are you afraid of if you don't have any demonic intentions when she's being protected by Imilitary? Why are you guys afraid of security? So do you want us to dissolve military?

Why so many soldiers around her she has nothing to hide but its because of ndc evil intentions which needs to be avoided ! They've killed 2 of their presidents and a Vice president such murderers and barbarians don't fit to be in any society in this civilized world ! Lady Jean Mensa belongs to the world because of her NGO IEA which is internationally recognized hence the international community have asked for her protection who doesn't know mahama loves power than his mother ! Ask him the last time he had a picture with his mother ? He showed his mother only when the woman died a poor and miserable soul ! You don't play with such a person when he us in die need of power ! LADY JEAN MENSA WILL BE PROTECTED EVERYTIME IF NDC HAVE A PROBLEM GO BURN THE OCEAN ! and where from this one too called Banahene ? When did he come into existence ? A rejected Akan nonentity !
