FORMER President John Dramani Mahama has joined other Ghanaians in condemning the military invasion of the Chamber of Parliament on Thursday, following the continued failure of lawmakers-elect to elect the Speaker for the Eighth Parliament.
The soldiers, numbering about 20, emerged in the Chamber together with armed policemen ostensibly to restore calm in the Chamber.
The well-armed security detail, with some having facemasks, came to the floor of Parliament at about 3.30 a.m. reportedly on the orders of the former Minister of Defence, Mr. Dominic Nitiwul.
The appearance of the military rocked the nerves of the legislators, especially members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
