Director of Public Affarirs at the GAF Colonel Emmanuel Aggrey-Quarshie, is on record not to have commented on the outcome of the investigations into the 'kalyppo' matter.

According to Col Aggrey-Quarshie,, the soldier breached sections of the military regulations to show political support which is not accepted in the military.
