The Herald has uncovered troubling information regarding the procurement of 20 armoured vehicles by the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), manufactured during the era of the former Soviet Union.
The vehicles, now 53 years old, have been described by this paper's military insiders as "death traps." These vehicles are reportedly non-functional and pose a serious risk to the lives of Ghanaian soldiers serving in the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) in Sudan.
The vehicle's firing posts are said to be inoperable.
Each vehicle reportedly cost $440,000, bringing the total expenditure to $8.8 million.
