The Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has urged Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in Ghana to take full ownership of local security structures and adopt a proactive approach to addressing emerging threats. Speaking at a capacity-building workshop on the Security and Intelligence Agencies Act, 2020, Mubarak emphasized the importance of community-based early warning systems, strategic coordination, and effective security management.
