A retired Regimental Sergeant Major has issued a formal communication to the Legal and Public Relations Directorates of the Ghana Armed Forces following a recent helicopter crash. The author emphasizes the necessity of strict adherence to operational protocols governing military equipment and engagements with civilians. This call for accountability comes after a public figure suggested bereaved families could pursue legal action against the state and the military for alleged negligence.
The communication underscores that all military assets must be deployed only after proper inspection, by certified personnel, and with fully documented authorization. It further highlights the critical requirement for formal indemnity protocols during any civilian interaction, a measure essential for legal protection and institutional integrity. Commanders are reminded of their direct responsibility to ensure these procedures are meticulously followed and recorded.
The author frames this not as a rejection of civic rights but as a reaffirmation of military duty. The piece concludes that the armed forces' dignity is preserved through unwavering commitment to lawful conduct and disciplined procedures in all operations.
