The Minister for Interior, Muntaka Mubarak, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to retooling the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) as part of broader efforts to enhance national security.
During his maiden working visit to the GIS, Mubarak outlined plans to modernize security services by leveraging public-private partnerships (PPP) and technology to improve operational efficiency.
He also revealed that the ministry would soon eliminate cash transactions across all its agencies to enhance efficiency and transparency in service delivery.
While acknowledging funding challenges, the minister stressed the importance of strategic partnerships to support the sector.
“We will be looking at how we can partner private individuals, whether profit or non-profit, to improve the services within the Ministry of Interior,” he stated, assuring that any PPP initiatives would be carefully structured to protect national security.
Mubarak also urged immigration officers to remain dedicated to safeguarding Ghana’s borders and supporting the government’s development agenda.
