Government to establish military bases in all regions
To fully prepare for the wave of terrorist attacks
swirling around the country, the government of
Ghana has decided to establish military bases in
all sixteen regions of the country.

This was revealed by Defence Minister-designate
Dominic Nitiwul during his vetting by the
Appointment Committee of Parliament.

Nitiwul assured that government is committed to
defending the territorial integrity of the
country.

He explained that there used to be seven military
bases when Ghana had ten regions but that has been
extended. According to him, processes have begun
to establish military bases in all parts of the
country.

“The military want to put up regiment in each
region. When we had ten regions there were seven
bases. The plan is to have military presence in
each region. We have put military presence in all
the regions but we intend to make it permanent for
the military to support the civilian police in
keeping law and order.”

He also added that the government intends to
establish about 15 bases across the northern part
of the country to help combat terrorism.

“To help fight against terrorism in the country,
we have been pitching bases across the borders to
ensure that Ghana is safe. The plan is very far
advanced to ensure that we have minimum 15 bases
across the northern region to ensure that we are
all safe,” he added.
