There’s a detailed plan which has been done and as at when it becomes necessary to evacuate our citizens from that jurisdiction, we’ll just have to activate that plan.”Mr. Agyenim Boateng added that the government is considering setting up a national crisis committee to oversee such events which could occur.It is also been thought of to set up a national crisis committee. All of this we are doing in readiness, that is, should the situation get extremely precarious and get out of hand,” Mr Agyenim Boateng indicated.Source: Joy News/Ghana
