In a recent commissioning event on Tuesday, July 23, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo emphasized the pivotal role of well-equipped housing for the police force in ensuring a safer and more secure Ghana. The commissioning of 320 new housing units for the Police Service in Tesano, Accra, marks a significant milestone in the government's commitment to enhancing the living conditions of security personnel.
President Akufo-Addo underscored the profound impact of adequate housing on the morale and effectiveness of police officers in maintaining law and order. He highlighted that the modern housing units, comprising two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, an officers’ mess, a social centre, multipurpose playing courts, and a kindergarten, are designed to provide a conducive living environment for the officers, allowing them to focus more on their critical duties with the assurance of secure and comfortable living conditions.
The President also contextualized the housing project within the broader Security Services Housing Programme launched in 2018, aimed at increasing the housing stock for security services. By improving the living standards of security personnel, the government is taking a crucial step towards building a more motivated and productive police force.
Acknowledging the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Works and Housing, the Ministry of the Interior, the Police Service, and all stakeholders involved in the project, President Akufo-Addo expressed heartfelt appreciation for their collective contributions in realizing this vision. He reaffirmed the government's commitment to addressing the housing needs of security personnel as part of a broader agenda to ensure access to decent and affordable housing for all citizens.
In conclusion, President Akufo-Addo reiterated the fundamental role of a well-housed police force as a cornerstone of a safer and more secure Ghana. He called for continued collective efforts in building a nation where every citizen feels safe, secure, and valued.
The commissioning of the new housing units stands as a testament to the government's unwavering dedication to supporting the men and women in uniform who selflessly serve to protect and uphold the peace and security of the nation.
