President John Dramani Mahama has directed Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson to make provision for GH¢300 million in the 2027 budget to construct 250 apartments for police officers to ease congestion in their barracks.
The proposed housing project forms part of the government’s efforts to improve the welfare of police personnel and provide better living conditions for officers.
“I’ve requested the Minister of Finance to provide GH¢300 million in the 2027 budget to construct 250 new apartments for the police to ease congestion in some of your barracks,” he said.
He said a second batch of 40 armoured vehicles was expected to be delivered in the coming weeks, following the handover of 50 vehicles to the service in December 2025.
President Mahama added that the government was procuring additional body armour to improve the protection of officers deployed on operational duties.
