Africa-Press – Ghana. Alhaji Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka, the Minister for the Interior/National Security, has reiterated President John Dramani Mahama’s commitment to retooling the state security forces in order to enhance their capabilities to effectively safeguard the nation.
He said the President was committed to retooling the security services with a $1 billion package to enhance operational effectiveness, logistical capacity, and mandate, strengthening national security and supporting their critical role.
“The sector has seen a great deal of change since we assumed office and accordingly has made some significant gains generally,” Alhaji Muntaka said in his Mid-Year Review Report for the Ministry of the Interior/National Security at a press conference at the Presidency in Accra.
The press conference, which was organised by the Presidency Communication Bureau, dubbed “The Governance Accountability Series”, is part of efforts by the Government to deepen transparency and accountability in governance.
He said the Interior Ministry was keen to seize every opportunity presented to it towards executing its mandate, plans, programmes, and ensuring peace and security for the good people of Ghana.
“I therefore want to appeal to all Ghanaians to continue to cherish this identity and not to do anything to detract from this path we have taken for ourselves and posterity,” he said.
“It is therefore our collective responsibility as Ghanaians to actively contribute our quota in ensuring that we live peacefully with each other, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, or economic or social status.”
