President John Mahama has issued a strong warning against the misuse of state resources, declaring that his government will not tolerate waste, indiscipline, or the abuse of assets intended for national security.
The caution came on Thursday, January 8, when the President handed over 100 pickup vehicles to the Ghana Police Service at the Police Headquarters.
He stressed that every resource allocated to the security services must yield clear, measurable benefits for the Ghanaian people.
“We won’t tolerate misuse, waste, or indiscipline,” President Mahama said, adding that “every resource provided for national security must deliver real value to the Ghanaian people.”
While reaffirming his administration’s commitment to strengthening the capacity of the security services, President Mahama made it clear that such support goes hand in hand with strict professionalism and accountability.
“As we strengthen capacity, we are equally committed to professionalism and accountability,” he said.
The President noted that improving national security is not only about providing equipment and logistics, but also about ensuring responsible use of public resources, ethical conduct, and discipline within the security services.
He said the government remains determined to safeguard public resources and ensure that investments in national security translate into improved public safety and sustained national stability.
