Interior Minister Henry Quartey has advised police officers to ensure that the new housing facility handed over to them by the government is kept clean and properly maintained at all times.
Speaking at a ceremony to hand over the new housing facility in Accra on Tuesday, Mr Quartey said the officers will be compelled to maintain the facility at all times.
“Oftentimes you go to Police barracks and you see clothes hanging around the building, fridges, and freezers, bicycles all manner of things hanging around the buildings”.
The Minister tasked the IGP “to ensure that these buildings do not see those types of things we see in police barracks”.
President Akufo-Addo on Tuesday, July 23, commissioned 320 housing units for officers of the Ghana Police Service at the Police Training School, Tesano in Accra.
The housing units, which are part of the Security Services Housing Project Phase Three, comprise 112 two-bedroom and 208 three-bedroom units. Additional facilities include an officers’ mess, a social centre, two multipurpose playing courts, and a kindergarten.
The project is expected to impact the lives of police officers and their families positively. It is a testament to the government’s dedication to supporting the security services.
