President Mahama assures Prisons Service of his commitment; says it is time

President John Dramani Mahama says government will equip the Ghana Prisons Service in order to better their working conditions.

He assured the Service that government under his leadership will provide them with the necessary logistics as has been done with the Ghana Armed Forces, Fire Service and other security agencies.

President Mahama stated that the services of the Prison’s officers cannot be overlooked since “the Fire Service has a lot of fire tenders now, the Police have a lot of vehicles, we’ve gotten them communication equipment. We’ve gotten them bullet proof jackets; we’ve gotten them new motor cycles”, therefore it is about time the Prisons Service also receives their portion of the national cake.

“We are committed this time to ensuring that the appropriate equipment and logistics are provided to our men in arms so that their discharge their duties properly.”
