The Defence Ministry is grappling with a significant debt crisis, as food suppliers threaten to withdraw their services over outstanding payments.
The government owes these suppliers GH¢275 million, an amount accumulated over 17 months, raising concerns about the sustenance of the Ghana Armed Forces.
Beyond food supplies, the Ministry's total liabilities have surged to GH¢3.7 billion, covering various financial obligations, including the supply and repair of equipment, as well as the procurement of essential machinery.
The scale of the debt has prompted urgent discussions on how to stabilise the Ministry's financial standing.
