John Dramani Mahama, the NDC’s flagbearer, vows to address security concerns in the six recently established regions by establishing military barracks in each one if he wins the 2024 elections. These regions encompass Savannah, North East, Bono East, Ahafo, Western North, and Oti.
Mahama made this promise during his address in Gambaga, North East Region, as part of his “Building the Ghana We Want Tour.”
Acknowledging the pressing need for enhanced security in these areas, Mahama emphasized the significance of proactive measures to safeguard the residents’ welfare and safety.
He intends to bolster security infrastructure and ensure swift responses to emerging threats and incidents through the establishment of military barracks in every region.
“We are going to prioritise the completion of abandoned projects. All six new regions are going to have military barracks so that the Ghana Army will be present in all the regions. In addition, we are going to form joint military and police anti-armed robbery squads and one of those squads will be here in the North East to fight armed robbery.”
“We prioritize peace and security to enable everyone to carry out their tasks effectively. Our 24-hour economy initiative hinges on ensuring security and safety for all,” he elaborated.
