Insight to the bone or whatever you call yourself, your problem is the fact that you are stuck in life. Your brain is dead so you can not think of how to get yourself out of your miserable situation, let alone reasoning with good people. Every rational human being can see the sense in what the guy is saying. Why should MPs be given 24hr police protection at the expense of the taxpayer? What about the the rest of the public?

yes since this police is corrupt , unprofessional and politically biased its only right these MPs demand protection. Very soon we shall disband this criminal mafia security agencies and form new ones in the meantime they should have adequate visible protection , if that was not necessary why do ministers and other appointees have police protection , are foreign embassies better than our own lawmakers ? idiot

Our MPS don't seek our welfare so why worry about their safety? What did they say about the lady killed at Tema a week before? they use 4× 4 vehicles so they don't care about our roads; seek health care outside so don't care about our hospitals; their kids school outside so don't care about our schools; drive in convoys so don't care so don't care about traffic jams. let them make laws to protect every Ghanaian including them. If we make the mistake to give them personal protection, we are doomed.

Why do they need police protection? Are their lives much more important than the life of those who sent them to parliament.? They are scared because of their bad and evil ways of snatching people wives and girlfriends, dubious land deals and corrupt frontings of business deals. Now they are afraid to die.

Additionally if they were all made to receive their healthcare through government hospitals they would fight for better healthcare for the people

Now they know that security is important, when doctors were fooling, they supported and said they more important.everyone is important, just let the security services go to strikes for 30minutes and see what will happen.

I believe the parliamentarians must be responsible for their personal security by installing hi tech gadgets in their homes.In these days and age it is worth investing in hi tech security,everything must not depend on the government.Some of our parliamentarians are involved in the underground world and have dodgy characters and it is not the job of government to provide security for them.

If our MPs feel their lives are at stake, they can resign. After all every single one of them bribed their way up there. That means there are always people who can and are willing to do the job.

Any justification for providing security for ministers and MDCEs, Charlotte Osei, etc? And even the president? Because they have their security assured them, they do not bother about our security!

WHO IS THIS EXPERT? ANOTHER HAS APPEARED AFTER IRBAD IBRAHIM. IT'S STRANGE AND CURIOUS HOW THEY ALL COME FROM THE NORTH OR UPPER REGION BUT YET STILL CAN'T USE THEIR EXPERTISE TO SOLVE THE LOADS OF CONFLICTS IN THEIR HOME TERRITORY. THESE IDIOTS ARE THE MAIN CAUSES OD THE SECURITY PROBLEMS IN THE COUNTRY. THEY JUST TALK UP NON EXISTENT CONFLICTS AND SHOOT DOWN GENUINE ONES. THESE ARE ILLEGAL MONEY MAKING VENTURES FRONTED BY SCARE MONGERS AND MISERY MERCHANTS. DRIVE THEM OUT OF THE MEDIA SPACE. GHANA DESERVES BETTER.

This is a very stupid comment. Should all the legislators buy guns to defend themselves? Are they like eveyone else? Some people make very unreasonable comments, one wonders who put them in their posts.

With a pen-name like Jew Guy, it does not surprise me that you think that MPs are not like everyone else. Who exactly do you think they are?

Considering that they became MPs only at the instance of ordinary people, I do not think that they have the right to put themselves above those ordinary people who voted for them to become MPs. After all what do they do apart from discussing pertinent national issues and making laws? Who cant do that?

I dont like making comparisons to other countries but, in Europe where I have traveled to and where murder is common-place, even Ministers of state take public transport whilst some of them ride bicycles to work.

It is only bush-boys like you with a mindset that is stuck in the feudal age who always want to unnecessarily elevate sections of humanity above others. MPs are nothing at all without the ordinary people who put them there. Most of them cannot or are not even capable of expressing themselves well in the official language of Ghana. Why should we raise people of such substance to the level of royalty? The very fact that our society has become riddled with crime is in itself a tacit confirmation of the fact that they have failed in their duties.

That is so true, these MPs are so self-centred and greedy. When the roads are bad, instead of fixing them, these politicians buy humongous SUVs to navigate the potholes. When our hospitals are under-resourced and not performing well, instead of resourcing them properly to improve performance and save lives, our politicians steal our money and travel to South Africa/United Kingdom for better quality health service. And now that one parliamentarian has, sadly, been murdered, we are being told to provide personal police escorts for MPs. GHana cannot afford to withdraw 275 police officers from circulation for the singular benefit of our MPs. The politicians should improve security in the country and we will all benefit!

assuming this MP's dont misuse state funds will they be targeted by the poor man. if they can buy five 4x4 vehicles within a year then they should provide absolute security for themselves.

Executive Director of Media Foundation for West Africa, Sulemana Braimah is 100% right. I personally support him and also to say that authorities must do well to put what mr sulemana is saying into action because it is the only means that will ensure better security for all and not for only people who think they are important than the rest. If MPs are protected and the rest of the citizens are been shot and killed day in day out what is the sense in this. Security for all is the best option and not security for MPs and so called important people
