Defence Minister to Address Nation on Security, Bawku Conflict, and Military Welfare
Ghana’s Minister for Defence, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, is scheduled to address the nation today, Monday, July 21, 2025, as part of the Government Accountability Series, with a comprehensive update on the country’s security outlook and the performance of the Defence Ministry.
The highly anticipated address will shed light on internal and external security developments, highlighting key interventions by the government to safeguard national stability.
Focus on Bawku Conflict and Military Operations
A major focus of Dr. Omane Boamah’s briefing will be the protracted conflict in Bawku. The Minister is expected to provide details on military operations in the area, as well as government-led peace-building initiatives aimed at restoring calm to the troubled northeastern town.
The situation in Bawku has remained a major national concern, with persistent ethnic tensions and clashes undermining efforts at long-term peace. The Minister is likely to outline strategic steps being taken to de-escalate violence and ensure security for residents.
Update on Military Welfare and Readiness
The Minister will also present updates on the welfare of Ghanaian military personnel, including matters of promotions, deployments, training programs, and the overall operational readiness of the Ghana Armed Forces.
These updates are anticipated to address recent concerns within military ranks over resource availability, morale, and support systems.
Part of the Government Accountability Series
The Government Accountability Series, under which the address is being delivered, is a government-led initiative designed to foster transparency and public engagement. It allows ministers to provide mid-year briefings on key activities and challenges within their respective ministries.
This initiative not only informs citizens about progress and gaps but also serves to build trust between the government and the public.
Dr. Omane Boamah’s address is expected to outline both achievements and areas needing attention, especially in the face of regional security threats and rising domestic tensions.
