The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has commissioned a locally made mini Jeep to provide easy transportation within the barracks.
A driver with the force, Warrant Officer Class One, Awal Mohammed, is credited with manufacturing the jeep.
The Jeep, which has low fuel consumption and selling at GH₵60,000.00, was out-doored during the West African Security Social Activity (WASSA).
It is a modification of the locally used tricycle known in the local parlance as “Aboboyaa”. The authorities said each unit under the military command would be given one to run their errands.
The Jeep, code name GAMIJ (Ghana Army Mini Jeep) and driven by the manufacturer, was tested with Vice Admiral Seth Amoama, the CDS, Nii Dzasetse of La, Major General Rtd Samuel Odotei, the guest speaker, among others on board.
