Government stands ready to investigate very allegations of crime and trigger the security services investigative machinery. This is according to President John Mahama.

“We will take all allegations of crime seriously and trigger our security service investigative machinery to go after criminals, no matter who they are” he warned.
President Mahama further added that the country has no time to engage in smoke and mirrors.
“But let me state emphatically also that we do not have the resources and time to engage in any game of smoke and mirrors,” he stressed
Meanwhile, government has announced plans to upscale education in the Ghana Armed Forces with the establishment of the National Defence University with a Presidential Charter.
