National Security to undertake surprise operations against threats if MMDCEs fail to act – Interior Minister
The training, organised by the National Security Council Secretariat, brought together Regional Ministers, members of the Regional Security Councils (REGSEC), and MMDCEs from the Western and Western North regions.
National Security Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak has warned Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) that the government will take surprise actions against threats if local authorities fail to act on emerging issues. Speaking at a training programme on the Security and Intelligence Agencies Act, 2026 (Act 1168), Mubarak emphasized the need for district authorities to demonstrate commitment to tackling illegal mining and other security concerns, rather than waiting for interventions from Accra.
He stated that if a threat is not reported and left to fester, National Security will act unilaterally without informing district authorities, as they have lost trust in the latter's ability to handle the situation effectively.
