The editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Kweku Baako says MP for Awutu Senya East, Hawa Koomson firing a warning shot at a registration center was avoidable and inexcusable.
Speaking on Newsfile, he stated that the electoral area has a history of violence, hence, it is surprising that an MP and a Minister of State would approach the ‘hotspot’ without a security detail.
“In a place that is a hotspot, making prior arrangements and going there with your bodyguards and some extra protection if necessary makes sense and nobody can contest that.”
But, to assume that in this kind of situation you could go there alone and protect yourself in the name of self-defense is a poor judgment.”
Kweku Baako explained that Hawa Koomson should have made sure the area was being policed, according to the law, after she was fed with information that there were some illegalities going on at the center.
“I want to be very blunt. What happened relative to the conduct of a Member of Parliament and Minister of state in my candid opinion was avoidable and an inexcusable gaffe,” he stated.
