Rambo Forces charge on Defense Minister Kan Dapaah

The Rambo Forces, a vigilante group of the ruling New Patriotic Party in the Volta region has taken a serious swipe at the Minister for National Security Mr. Kan Dapaah, over what they describe as his “unprofessional” approach to dealing with the Delta Force issue.

The force said the minister has "weak" appreciation of what was happening in the party and therefore, does not deserve to serve in the administration of President Nana Akufo-Addo.

They are livid and disappointed that Mr. Kan Dapaah still remains at post even when it is obvious he has contributed immensely to the escalation of the situation in Kumasi.

According to them, the actions and utterance of the minister is a clear indication that the various security forces in the party across the country have no recognition in the party "and that we have suffered for this victory for the party for nothing."

The Rambo Forces claim they were very instrumental in preventing many Togolese and other neighboring countries from taking part in Ghana's elections last year, which saw the electoral fortunes of the then ruling NDC take a nosedive paving way for the NPP to improve in the region.

They are however threatening to withdraw their vigilante activities, especially on the borderlines "because this Kan Dapaah has opened our eyes to see that we are not part of the ruling party."

"What we can say is he and his family should come and man the various borders in the region and prevent the Togolese from entering the country to register when another voters' registration exercise commences. We will never be part of such dangerous ventures again and Kan Dapaah and his families should take our role," the group stated.

According to them, they cannot continue to risk their lives when their sacrifices are not appreciated.

To them, it is sad that the party has deserted them "too fast at a time that we seriously need them."
