The Minister for Defence, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has strongly stated that recruitment and enlistment into the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) is not for sale and will never be sold under his leadership.
Speaking after an 11-hour working visit to military facilities under the 1 Garrison of the Ghana Armed Forces, Dr. Omane Boamah said the recruitment process will be based strictly on merit and fairness.
“Let me repeat: recruitment and enlistment into the Ghana Armed Forces is not for sale and will not be for sale under my Eagle Eyes watch,” he declared.
The Defence Minister’s visit took him to the Eastern Naval Command, where he inspected key naval installations and observed how troops monitor Ghana’s marine ecosystem.
He also visited Michel Camp, where he witnessed soldiers neutralizing explosive devices, showcasing their professionalism and bravery.
At the Army Recruits Training School (ARTS), Dr. Omane Boamah reviewed preparations to recruit and train 12,000 new personnel for both ARTS and the Ghana Military Academy.
He also visited military medical facilities, identified existing challenges, and assured troops of better healthcare under President Mahama’s Resetting Ghana agenda.
Dr. Omane Boamah praised the efforts of commanders, including Commodore Asiedu-Larbi, and commended all personnel for their dedication to duty.
“To our troops, I say your service is deeply valued. We are working hard to protect your welfare and ensure your safety,” he said, calling on all Ghanaians to support the Armed Forces in building a stronger nation.
