The Minister for the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has taken a significant step towards enhancing national security by inaugurating the Ministry’s Advisory Board.
This move aims to foster continuous engagement between the Ministry and its stakeholders, leveraging their expertise to address emerging security challenges.
The Advisory Board, established in accordance with Section 39 of the Civil Service Act, 1993 (PNDCL 327), will provide valuable counsel on policy direction, planning objectives, and operational strategies. Its diverse membership, comprising security experts, civil society representatives, and other stakeholders, will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.
The Minister emphasized the importance of collaboration in tackling pressing security issues, such as cybercrime, human trafficking, and arms proliferation.
He assured the Board that their inputs and feedback would be highly valued, and together, they would work towards leaving a lasting legacy that would positively impact the Ministry and the nation.
By inaugurating the Advisory Board, the Ministry demonstrates its commitment to retooling security agencies and enhancing their capacity to deliver their mandate effectively. This initiative is expected to yield significant benefits, including improved strategic planning, collaborative problem-solving, and enhanced national security.
The Advisory Board’s work will likely have a profound impact on Ghana’s security landscape, and its success will depend on the collective efforts of its members and the Ministry. With this initiative, the Ministry is poised to address emerging security challenges and promote a safer, more secure environment for all Ghanaians.
