Twitter users are criticizing Member of Parliament for Assin Central and NPP presidential aspirant, Kennedy Agyapong, for his proposal to implement a mandatory 6-month military national service program.

According to social media users, Agyapong's suggestion is seen as impractical and counterproductive, as it may alienate young people rather than garner their support.

During a recent interview, the NPP flagbearer floated the idea of a new national service program that would involve military training. He argued that the youth exhibit too much indiscipline, and compulsory military training for all could be advantageous for the country.

“Because of indiscipline in Ghana, every national service person and every university graduate will undergo six-month military training,” he said.

Responding to his statement on Twitter, some young Ghanaians collectively expressed their strong opposition to the proposal while others thought it was a brilliant idea.
