Fire Hawa Koomson over gunshot - Bonaa tells Nana Addo

Security analyst, Adam Bonaa has called on President Akufo-Addo to sack the Minister of Special Development Initiatives, Mavis Hawa Koomson after she admitted firing a gunshot at a registration centre in Kasoa.

According to the minister who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Awutu Senya East Constituency, she gave the warning shot to defend herself after feeling threatened while touring registration centres in the constituency on Monday, July 20, 2020.

'I’m a Member of Parliament, I need to protect myself. It was at dawn; my police escort had not started work yet. So, that is the modus operandi I engaged in his absence,' she told Accra-based Adom FM.

Reacting to the development on Starr FM on Tuesday, Mr Bonaa said the minister has shown poor judgment and must be removed.

“For me, she saying her life was in danger was an afterthought and she’s a disgrace to womanhood. The president should fire her”.

“Why did she go to a registration centre with a firearm and not in the company of her personal protection? Also if she knew her life was going to be in danger, why didn’t she call on the police for protection? She should have known that wielding a gun doesn’t give you the right to discharge it”, he stated.
