Defence Minister-designate Adjei must prioritise GAF personnel welfare — KAIPTC lecturer
Security lecturer at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), Dr Victor Doke, has urged Defence Minister-designate Kenneth Gilbert Adjei to make the welfare of personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces his foremost priority if approved by Parliament.
Dr Victor Doke, a Security lecturer at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), has urged the newly appointed Defence Minister-designate, Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, to prioritize the welfare of Ghana Armed Forces personnel. This advice comes in light of President John Dramani Mahama's recent reassignment of Adjei from the Ministry of Works, Housing, and Water Resources to the Ministry of Defence.
Dr Doke, speaking on the challenges awaiting Adjei, emphasized that addressing military personnel's welfare should be his top priority, including housing, remuneration, promotions, and gender issues. He highlighted that improving accommodation, remuneration, career progression, and addressing gender-related concerns within the Armed Forces are critical to strengthening morale and operational effectiveness.
Dr Doke also noted that Adjei will face a significant task in succeeding his predecessor, and will need to draw on the experience of both military leadership and former officials to succeed.
