The Minister for Defence, Dr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah, has directed an official probe into the unexplained transfer and subsequent disappearance of thousands of rounds of military ammunition from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to the National Security Secretariat in 2024.
Speaking during the Government Accountability Series in Accra on Monday, July 21, Dr. Boamah raised serious concerns about the rationale and accountability behind the movement of such a significant consignment of arms to a civilian-led agency that lacks an operational fighting force.
He revealed that, as of now, the ammunition remains unaccounted for, prompting urgent questions about security protocols and oversight.
“We have kept our nation safe and stable notwithstanding the irregular transfer of thousands of rounds of military ammunition in 2024 from the Ghana Armed Forces to the National Security outfit.
“The reality is that to date, those ammunitions have not been accounted for. How the Ghana Armed Forces could transfer ammunition to the National Security that doesn’t have a fighting force in 2024 is a question that has to be answered.” He stated.
The Defence Minister further disclosed that the Ghana Armed Forces has officially referred the matter to the National Security Secretariat for investigation, as they were the recipients of the consignment.
“The Ghana Armed Forces has passed it on to the National Security Secretariat to investigate since they were the recipient.” He said.
