The National Security Coordinator, Lt. Col. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey (rtd), says it is very �na�ve� on the part of some politicians to document and bandy about statements attributed to associates of a group engaged by the United Nations, as official report of the highly-recognized international organization. Lt. Col. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey (rtd) was emphatic that the supposed UN report on La Cote d'Ivoire which appears to be the main source of information for these �na�ve� individuals cannot be said to be an official UN document. It would be recalled that at the just ended Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) organised Presidential Debate, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, cited a UN report on La Cote d'Ivoire accusing Ghana of having allowed insurgents to use its territory while planning subversive actions against the constitutionally elected government in the Ivory Coast. He also slammed the �dzi wo fi asem� (mind you own business, in Akan) policy of the NDC administration and the somewhat passive role Ghana played in resolving the political crisis in that country. But questioning the credibility of the �supposed UN report� which indicted Ghana for allegedly harbouring dissidents plotting to unseat the Ivorian government, Col. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey (retired), told JoyFM in an interview during the airing of Newsfile, a news analysis programme that the sources quoted in the report are unreliable.
