The youth wing of opposition New Patriotic Party has called on the National Security Coordinator Col. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey (Retired) to step aside, for investigations to be conducted into his alleged linkage with Mr. Samuel Adelaquqye, the security chief at Kotoka Airport who is facing charges related to illicit drugs trade in the US.The Young Patriots has demanded a thorough investigation to be carried out on the national security coordinator, Sohin Secuirty and its CEO to salvage the image of Ghana and especially for Mr Gbevlo Lartey’s own reputation.The group in a release on Monday stated: “Due to the alleged relationship between the two, Mr Lartey and his outfit could have failed to do due diligence to ascertain the background of the CEO in terms of experience in the security sector, his criminal record if any, his activities and background, which would have saved Ghana the embarrassment we are going through”.According to the statement, “the other possibility is that Mr Adelaquaye and Sohin security could have been chosen purposely for their experience in drug trafficking, if the national security apparatus and Mr Lartey wished to use the institution to traffic drug. This is because the company is alleged not to have prior experience in security. On what basis were they selected.”Meanwhile the Young Patriots has questioned the interest of the Chief Executive of National Pensions Regulatory Authority Mr Sam Pee Yalley, in his defence of Mr Gbevlo-Lartey, “when no one has directly accused Mr Lartey of being involved”.“And why will Mr Yalley warn of National Security consequences if Mr Lartey is linked to this case? Does Mr Yalley know something the rest of us don’t? And does the personal interest of one person supersede the national interest?”
