The Majority in Ghana’s Parliament has accused Kofi Totobi Quakyi, a former Minister for National Security, and Larry Gbevlo-Lartey, a former National Security Coordinator, of orchestrating violent incidents following the 2024 General Elections.

The alleged incidents, reportedly involving individuals linked to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), include attacks on government officials and state institutions.

The accusations came shortly after President-elect John Dramani Mahama announced an interim national security team, which includes Quakyi and Gbevlo-Lartey, to oversee security matters ahead of permanent appointments.

In a press briefing, Deputy Majority Leader Patricia Appiagyei expressed concerns over the violence, warning that it could escalate after Mahama’s swearing-in.

“We have received reliable intelligence indicating that violence is being instigated by certain elements within the NDC leadership. Totobi Quakyi and Col. (Rtd) Larry Gbevlo-Lartey are allegedly behind these actions, encouraging thugs to attack innocent citizens,” Appiagyei said.

She urged the public to remain alert and report suspicious activities to security forces.

Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh also voiced his concerns, calling on President-elect Mahama to take responsibility and address the alleged violence.

“If the NDC denies any involvement, their supporters are clearly chanting their slogans while causing chaos. If the President-elect does not act, we will take legal steps to safeguard the nation’s security,” Annoh-Dompreh warned.
