The ruling (NDC) government has withdrawn military protection for all civilians who are not officially entitled to such services.
According to the Minister of Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, the directive applies to public officials, former ministers, businessmen, and others who rely on military services.
He explained that it aligns with the government's resetting agenda and is intended to curb the misuse of military personnel for personal interests. "As part of our reset agenda to restore discipline and accountability, we've withdrawn military protection for civilians (including public officials, former ministers, businessmen, and women, among others) who are not entitled to it.
This decision aims to STOP the misuse of military personnel for personal gain," he shared in a Facebook post on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
