The Ghanaian Voice says although it is not its duty to call for the sacking of a Minister, a functionary or even an advisor to Prez JAK for non-performance, it is constrained by the tons of failures and embarrassment that General Joshuah Hamidu has caused this government to ask for his immediate dismissal.

It says since the former Liaison Officer of the AFRC and government business during the days of the AFRC, took over Captain Kojo Tsikata's and lately Kofi Totobi Quakyi's mantle as the capo of national security, the old General has stumbled on many occasions and his utterances and performances have embarrassed the current regime.

Nothing seems to have gone right with Gen Hamidu, who was allegedly touted by General Olusegun Obasanjo to be the running mate to the then presidential candidate JAK. The government according to the paper, is still reeling under the bad publicity generated by the arrest of the ex-Minister Victor Selormey and his blunder number two was orchestrating the arrest of Mr Osei Tutu Prempeh, the former Auditor General when he had gone to worship his God in a Church. Later, it came out that the arrest of Mr Osei Tutu Prempeh was not only flimsy but cynical. Then also when the E.T. Mensah's arrest came, he called a press conference, which normally security chiefs don't do, to threaten Armageddon.

The old general is said to have also openly boasted that the government is prepared for coup makers, an act seen by the paper as uncalled for and unwarranted because what it did was to dare coup makers to attempt that infamous act.

The Voice lists other factors connecting Gen Hamidu and says the sum total of all these bungled jobs is to create embarrassment for the new government, leaving it to always find reasons for his inefficient operations.

"Indeed the old General must go", the paper concludes.
