Ghana’s Minister of Defense, Hon. Omane Boamah, has emphasized the need for a balanced approach in addressing the role of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) in internal security.
According to Boamah, while the military is prepared to assist in internal matters, their deployment should be limited to essential situations.
This approach, Boamah explained, will allow the Ghana Police Service to handle routine domestic security tasks.
“Let’s try as much as possible to limit the invitation for the GAF to step in and do things that the Ghana Police Service is fully capable of handling,” he said
The government, Boamah assured, will ensure that the GAF is utilized more productively and effectively while minimizing their involvement in civilian security operations.
This balanced approach is expected to promote a more efficient and effective allocation of resources, ultimately enhancing the overall security landscape in Ghana.
As a seasoned politician and former Minister for Communications, Omane Boamah brings a wealth of experience to his new role as Minister of Defense.
His commitment to a balanced approach to internal security is a testament to his dedication to promoting the well-being and safety of Ghanaians.
In his previous roles, Boamah has demonstrated his ability to drive positive change and promote effective governance.
As Minister for Communications, he spearheaded initiatives to promote digital safety and infrastructure development.
Boamah’s appointment as Minister of Defense is expected to leverage his administrative acumen and leadership experience to bolster Ghana’s defense strategy.
His commitment to a balanced approach to internal security is a promising start to his tenure, and Ghanaians will be watching with interest as he works to promote a safer and more secure nation.
