Accra, May 8, GNA - The Military High Command on Monday demanded an investigation into reports of sex-for-aid scandal among UN peacekeepers in Liberia, including Ghanaian soldiers.

"The Military High Command is concerned about the report and its ramifications on the international image of Ghana in general and the Ghana Armed Forces in particular as far as United Nations International Peacekeeping Operations are concerned," the Ghana Armed Forces said in a statement signed by Colonel E.W.B. Nibo, Director of Public Relations.

"(The Military High Command) has subsequently directed the contingent commander of the Ghanaian troops in Liberia to investigate the matter and submit a report to it immediately."

The High Command appealed to the media to handle the issue with circumspection until the Ghana Armed Forces availed itself of the report from the mission area.
