If my English teacher taught me well, anything confidential is strictly confidential – Adam Bonaa lash out National Security for issuing press statement on confidential letterhead

A Security Analyst, Mr Adam Bonaa has lash out at the National Security for issuing a press statement on a confidential letterhead.

Speaking on TV3 News@10 on Thursday, May 13, monitored by GhanaPlus.com, he said “As far as I am concern, if my English teacher taught me well, anything confidential means that it is suppose to be confidential, strictly confidential”.

According to him, the development only mean one thing and that was the National Security probably does not understand what they were doing adding the confidential letterhead makes it difficult to tell who the statement was for.

“If out look at the statement from the National security, I am not sure whether the is a press statement, whether it is meant for another sector security agency or is meant for the Presidency because if you look at the letter on top of the Coat of Arm of the Republic of Ghana you have confidential”.

“As far as I am concern, if my English teacher thought me well, anything confidential means that it is suppose to be confidential, strictly confidential and so it tells you that the National Security probably doesn’t even understand what it is doing because if it did it will not put a press statement on a confidential letterhead and circulate it, purporting to be informing the public about an alleged brutality against a civilian and an unarmed civilian,” he said.

Mr Bonaa was speaking about a press statement issued by the National Security over the manhandling of Citi TV Journalist, Mr Caleb Kudah for allegedly filming at a security zone and also the Rambo style with which personnel of the service stormed the office of the media house to arrest another journalist whom they indicated was sent the video by Mr Kudah.

National Security press statement vague

The Security Analyst also described the statement as vague adding it does not address the assault on the Ghanaian Journalist and urge them to come again with a another which serves the purpose.

“If you look at the statement itself it vague, it doesn’t speak to anything, it talks about photography, I mean, as far as I am concern, I am not sure taking photograph is an infringement on the law, I am not sure if that is the case so the national Security will have to come again”.

He noted assault by national Security operatives on Journalists and unarmed civilians was becoming one too many from their quarters and had to be addressed by leadership of the service.
