Finance Minister and Acting Minister for Defence, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has praised the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) for their dedication and resilience.<\/p>\n

According to him, their unwavering commitment has enabled Ghana to remain strong and united despite complex internal and external security challenges.<\/p>\n

He made the remarks on Friday, January 23, during the Ghana Armed Forces\u2019 end-of-year West African Social Activity (WASSA) held at the forecourt of the Public Relations Department of the GAF at Burma Camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough their dedication and resilience, our country continues to stand strong and united in the face of both internal and external challenges,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Forson assured officers and men of the Armed Forces, as well as the general public, of the government\u2019s commitment to strengthening national defence. He said the Ministry of Defence will continue to provide strategic policy direction to ensure the Ghana Armed Forces remain responsive, modern and operationally ready.<\/p>\n

According to him, the ministry will also focus on strengthening institutional capacity and aligning defence priorities with emerging security threats within Ghana and the wider subregion.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the welfare of personnel remains a top priority for the administration of President John Dramani Mahama, pledging continued efforts to improve the living and working conditions of officers and men of the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe well-being of our men and women in uniform is of paramount importance to this administration,\u201d Dr. Forson stated. \u201cGovernment has therefore placed significant emphasis on addressing issues related to accommodation, healthcare, training, career progression and general welfare.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that these interventions are expected to boost morale, enhance professionalism and improve operational effectiveness across the Ghana Armed Forces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
