Honourable Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, Minister for the Interior, served as the Special Guest of Honour and Reviewing Officer, commending the recruits for their resilience, dedication, and patriotism.
In his keynote address, he praised the GNFS for its ongoing efforts to improve service delivery, noting that the addition of these new recruits would significantly enhance the Service’s operational strength and national reach.
In a major policy announcement, the Minister revealed the introduction of a new insurance package for all GNFS personnel, aimed at boosting morale and ensuring financial security for officers injured or killed in the line of duty.
Under the scheme:
• GH₵50,000.00 will be paid to firefighters sustaining non-permanent injuries in line of duty.
• GH₵100,000.00 will be awarded in cases of permanent disability in line of duty.
• GH₵100,000.00 will be given in the event of a firefighter’s death on active duty
• Even natural deaths while in service will attract a benefit of GH₵50,000.00.
“This is just the beginning,” the Minister emphasized. “We are committed to improving welfare packages, logistics support, and working conditions for our gallant fire officers, whose sacrifices often go unnoticed.”
