The Central Regional Police Command has invited the Minister for Special Initiatives and MP for Awutu Senya East Constituency, Mavis Hawa Koomson, for firing a gun at a registration center at Kasoa on Tuesday.
Speaking on Morning Starr, DSP Irene Oppong, PRO of the Central Regional Police Command said the minister has been invited to help with investigations.
“She is a member of Parliament and so there is a procedure to follow before you can invite her and so we are currently through that process to invite Hawa Koomson to help with investigation,” DSP Oppong told host Lantam Papanko.
The MP has claimed she gave the warning shot to defend herself after feeling threatened while touring registration centers in the constituency on Monday.
“I’m a Member of Parliament, I need to protect myself. It was at dawn; my police escort had not started work yet. That is the modus operandi I engaged in his absence,” she told Accra- based Adom Fm.
Security analyst Adam Bonaa has urged President Akuffo- Addo to sack Mavis Hawa Koomson as Minister of Special Development Initiatives after she admitted firing a gunshot at a registration center in Kasoa.
“For me, she saying her life was in danger was an afterthought and she’s a disgrace to womanhood. If she does not resign by 12noon today, the President should fire her.
“Why did she go to a registration center with a firearm and not in the company of her personal protection? Also if she knew her life was in danger, why didn’t she call on the police for protection? She should have known that wielding a gun does not give you the right to discharge it.
