The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has engaged members of the Western Regional Security Council (REGSEC) to discuss the region’s security situation, ongoing interventions, and emerging challenges requiring attention.
The engagement formed part of the Minister’s working visit to the Western Region, during which he is undertaking a series of engagements with regional authorities and key stakeholders to strengthen security coordination and promote public safety.
As part of the visit, the Minister paid a courtesy call on the Western Regional Minister, Mr. Joseph Nelson, during which discussions centred on strengthening collaboration between the Ministry of the Interior and regional authorities to maintain peace and security.
At the meeting with REGSEC, Mr. Muntaka received a briefing on the prevailing security situation in the region, ongoing security interventions and emerging concerns that require coordinated attention from the relevant security agencies.
The discussions also focused on strategies to enhance collaboration among security agencies, improve security coordination and address issues that could threaten peace and stability in the region.
The Interior Minister reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to working closely with the Regional Minister, REGSEC and other relevant stakeholders to maintain law and order and strengthen the country’s security architecture.
As part of his engagements in the region, the Minister is expected to meet with personnel of security agencies and other institutions under the Ministry to discuss their operations, challenges and measures to improve service delivery.
He is also scheduled to engage religious leaders and traditional authorities to strengthen partnerships in promoting peace, social cohesion and security.
Another key activity on his itinerary is a visit to the Elubo Border, where he is expected to assess security and border management operations, as well as inspect ongoing projects in the region.
The working visit forms part of the Ministry of the Interior’s broader efforts to engage regional stakeholders, assess security concerns and identify measures to enhance the effectiveness of Ghana’s security architecture.
