Accommodation is the biggest challenge facing Armed Forces – Nitiwul
Minister-Designate for Defence, Dominic Nitiwul,
has described the issue of accommodation as one of
the biggest challenges facing the Ghana armed
forces.

Speaking before the Appointments Committee of
Parliament on Thursday, February 11, 2021, Dominic
Nitiwul stated that the ministry is taking steps
to fix the challenge.

He noted that it is the vision of the ministry for
all members of the Armed Forces to be accommodated
in the barracks and not in rented apartments
outside the barracks.

“Accommodation is one of the biggest challenges
members of the armed forces face and we are taking
steps to fix it. My vision is for all members of
the armed forces to be in the barracks, and not in
a rented apartment or even your house outside the
barracks,” Minister-Designate for Defence,
Dominic Nitiwul told the appointment committee.

Dominic Nitiwul also called for the need to
modernise the armed forces, in terms of weaponry
and technology.

According to him, there is a need to leverage
technology to augment the work of the armed
forces.

The Appointments Committee in Parliament on
Wednesday, February 10, 2021, commenced the
vetting of ministerial nominees for appointments
in the second term of the President of the
Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

adequate measures to prevent the committee as well
as the nominees from contracting the deadly
coronavirus during vetting.
