The National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has condemned the politicization of certain issues, especially those bordering on national security in the country.

Some critics of the ruling administration are wondering why there are still security threats and kidnappings ongoing in the country when they (the NPP, then in opposition) promised to keep Ghanaians safe when given the mandate to rule.

However, Sammy Awuku said instead of making such comments the opposition should find ways of helping the security agencies fish out the bad nuts in our society and that will help keep Ghanaians safe.

Speaking on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Sammy Awuku said "I find it strange that the NDC is trying to push everything on the NPP . . . there should be no politicization in our security; we should all be vigilant and report anything strange."

"The NPP government in terms of security; we have retooled them; it’s about time we also get results from the investments we have done in our security agencies. Nobody should paint the picture that this is the first time things like this; abduction and so on is happening," he added.
