Parliament will be secured when I'm given the nod - Bani

Prosper Bani

His comment follows calls by MPs for enhanced security following the killing of the Abuakwa North MP by some unknown assailants.

Addressing members of the Appointment Committee of parliament on Thursday during his vetting, Mr. Bani observed that security at the law-making chamber is rather poor.

“I will tell you an observation; I drove around parliament and the State House early morning on two different occasions and nobody asked me anything.

“So one of the immediate decision I will take when given the nod is to work with leadership to secure parliament,” he added.

He further denied suggestions that his appointment as Interior Minister is a demotion.

“I stand here as an individual offering myself to serve and my service of Chief of Staff for two years was part of serving and so if the President deems it necessary for me to serve in another capacity I can’t say no.“One should be able to serve anywhere...and that is why I am not taking this appointment as a demotion,” Mr. Bani indicated.

Mr Prosper Bani is a senior manager and specialist in international peace-building and development processes.

For over 15 years, Mr Bani has led processes in peace and development with the United Nations in several countries.
