The Ashanti Regional Organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Francis Adomako, popularly known as Francois in the political space, has raised red flag over the decision of the Mahama government to sack about 210 trained cadets.

According to him, it poses security threat to the society if the government sacks 210 trained cadets, apart from increasing the unemployment rate in the country.

Speaking to “The New Trust” newspaper on Tuesday, 22nd July 2025, Francois, who is also the Dean of all Regional Organisers, recalled that not too long ago, the Interior Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, who is also the Member of Parliament for Asawasi in Kumasi, informed the nation that some trained security personnel from the police and immigration services and others had been sacked.

“Now, the Defence Minister, Dr. Omane Boamah, is also sacking about 210 trained cadets because they don’t meet the qualification criteria,” he added.

The Ashanti Regional NPP Organiser and Regional Secretary hopeful stated, “This is totally unacceptable. Taxpayers’ money have been used to train all these personnel for a year. They have acquired some skills and knowledge about the use of powerful weapons. Releasing them to the street with all this knowledge is dangerous to the society. Can’t we, as a country, use them to perform any other task?” he asked rhetorically.

According to him, pushing these trained personnel back to the society can result in so many evil things, such as armed robbery, prostitution on the part of trained personnel who are women, an increase in the unemployment, etc.
