Koforidua, July 4, GNA - Eastern Regional Police Commander, Deputy
Commissioner of Police Stephen Andoh-Kwoffie has called for the
establishment of a security fund to improve facilities for police and other security
agencies.
He explained that the fund was necessary because the annual budgetary
allocation for the agencies could not solve all their problems and stressed the
need for more effective mobilization and implementation of the talk tax on mobile
phones to use a percentage as sources for the fund.
DCOP Andoh-Kwoffie made the call when Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo,
Eastern Regional Minister, presented some mattresses and blankets to police
personnel sleeping under staircases at the Eastern Regional Police Headquarters
in Koforidua.
The presentation was in reaction to a Ghana News Agency (GNA) report that
the police personnel who had been transferred to the Region were sleeping under
the staircase at the regional headquarters for lack of accommodation.
He noted that the Ghana Education Fund (GETFUND) was established to
help improve educational facilities in the country and the fund could also be
established to improve facilities for the security agencies.
DCOP Andoh-Kwoffie pointed out those problems of the Ghana Police
Service included accommodation, infrastructure, vehicles and other logistics that
required a fund with constant inflows to ensure effective policing and better
conditions for the other security agencies.
