Defence Ministry Cracks Down on Misuse of Military Personnel



Kumasi, Ghana – In a significant move to restore discipline and accountability within Ghana's security framework, Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah has announced a new directive to end the misuse of military personnel for personal gain. This initiative is a key component of the government’s broader "Reset Agenda."

The directive, shared by the Minister in a Facebook post on Tuesday, July 15, aims to prohibit the deployment of military personnel for private, non-official duties. This practice has long been a subject of public concern, often diverting essential resources and compromising the professional image of the armed forces.

Dr. Omane Boamah emphasized that this policy reinforces transparency and responsible governance, aligning with the professional obligations of the armed forces. The "Reset Agenda" seeks to enhance operational efficiency, uphold ethical standards, and ensure that military resources are solely dedicated to national security and public service.

This new measure is expected to be widely welcomed by the public, who have increasingly called for reforms to curb the exploitation of state resources and personnel. The Ministry of Defence is yet to release full details on the implementation and enforcement mechanisms of the directive, but the announcement itself signals a strong commitment from the government to uphold the integrity of its security institutions.
