The Ministry of the Interior has released funds to settle outstanding rent allowance arrears owed to personnel of the Ghana Prisons Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and Ghana Immigration Service for the 2025 financial year.
The payment covers all eligible officers across the three security services who were affected by the delay.
In a statement issued by the Ministry’s Public Affairs and Communications Unit, the government expressed appreciation to the affected personnel for their patience and understanding during the period the allowances remained outstanding.
The Ministry also announced a major reform in the payment system to prevent future delays. Beginning March 2026, rent allowance payments will be mechanised and processed alongside officers’ monthly salaries.
The move is expected to ensure timely and consistent payment of rent allowances while improving the welfare of personnel within the services.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to the welfare of officers under its supervision and assured that it will continue to work with the Ministry of Finance and other relevant stakeholders to ensure all entitlements are paid promptly.
