Claims of unfair treatment against Jubilee House security personnel untrue – Presidency

The Presidency has dis­pelled claims that secu­rity personnel stationed at the Jubilee House have been subjected to unfair treatment.

There were rumours that se­curity personnel at the Jubilee House had abandoned their posts due to unfair treatment.

In a statement issued by the Presidency and signed by Eu­gene Arhin, Director of Com­munications, dated September 3, he denied the reports that 77 security personnel left Ju­bilee House to their respective units.

He called on the public to disregard “these false claims, and treat them with the con­tempt they deserve.”

“The Office of the Pres­ident would like to put on record that at no point in the tenure of Nana Addo Dank­wa Akufo-Addo, from 2017 till date, have seventy-seven security personnel left Jubi­lee House to their respective units. Indeed, no security officer has left Jubilee House because of “unfair treatment” meted out to them at the seat of the presidency. Curiously, at no point in Mr Owusu’s submissions did he provide any evidence whatsoever to buttress these false claims,” the statement said.

“It is important to stress that any security officer who has left Jubilee House has either been due to disciplinary reasons, or as a result of a voluntary decision made by the security officer in ques­tion. We urge the public to disregard these false claims, and treat them with the con­tempt they deserve,” it said.
