  "account": "Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka, the Interior Minister, disclosed the government's commitment to harnessing integrated systems, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced technology, to bolster the capabilities of internal security agencies. By doing so, the Minister believes surveillance, intelligence sharing, border security management can be improved, and the country's territorial integrity safeguarded. During an interview following a visit to the Elubo Border in Ghana's Western Region, Muntaka emphasized that technological integration would address resource deployment gaps, and collaboration across sectors would be crucial for effective security solutions. He explained that AI tools would help regulate movements and security infractions along unauthorized paths at Ghana's frontiers. \"Modern technology is already being used for the National Customs Analysis Bureau (NCAB) and the Electronic Visa system, so we are transforming the security system with technology because we know this can help us do a lot more,\" he added. Muntaka praised the effective collaboration among security agencies at the Elubo Border, commending their efforts even in difficult circumstances. The challenges faced by these agencies included inadequate accommodation, congested office spaces, logistical constraints, and welfare concerns. The Minister assured that steps would be taken to resolve these issues. Regarding unauthorized routes, Muntaka engaged the Ivorian counterparts on information sharing and crime management to ensure the safety of these routes. He stressed the importance of discussions among all levels and between the two countries to secure the Western Frontier for the people and businesses. Assistant Commissioner Grace Mawusi Amexo, the Elubo Sector Commander of Custom Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, confirmed that the team had intensified efforts to minimize smuggling and drug trafficking through collaboration with other security agencies and Ivorian counterparts. Despite challenges, they remained committed to strengthening border security along the western frontiers.",
