Twenty thousand security personnel are to be deployed nationwide to provide security and maintain law and order during and after the forthcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
The personnel from the Ghana Police Service, Ghana Armed Forces, the Prisons Service, the Immigration Service, the Ghana National Fire Service, the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority and the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI), are also to protect the country's territory against external infiltration.
The Inspector General of police, Mr. Paul Tawiah Quaye, who made this known yesterday, said more than 10,000 security personnel had already been trained on election security maintainance under a programme supported by the British government.
The IGP made this known at the Tesano Police Depot, Accra, when President John Dramani Mahama handed over 194 vehicles, including ambulances, to support the police to provide security during the elections and beyond.
The President had earlier presented 265 vehicles, comprising 200 military pick-ups, 30 civil pick-ups, 20 ambulances and 15 buses equipped with communication gadgets to the military at the Burma Camp.
The Minister for the Interior, Mr. Kwesi Aboah gave an assurance that the security services were prepared to ensure incident-free elections.

THESE ARGUMENTS ARE BULLISH ARROGANT AND INSULTING TO ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN " I HOPE THAT GHANA IS READY TO LOOK AT ITS PEOPLE AND STEP UP THEIR PROGRAMS THAT MILLS STARTED WITH THE CUBANS AND THOSE OF LIKE MIND NOT WITH THE AMERICASN AND THEIR PUPPT REGIMES IN AFRICA. NIGERIA LIKES TO FOLLOW THEY DO THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO VERY CORRUPT, SO AS A ENGLISH SPEAKING NATION ITS TIME THAT YOU AWAKE AND STAY FOCUSED IN THE WAY THAT PROVIDES PROSPERITY FOR THE NATION AND STAY AWAY FROM THE RUBBISH FO WARS AND PROPOGANDA THAT IS BEING USED ON THE CONTINENT TO DISRUPTTHE UNIFICATION OF ALL BLACK AND BROWN AFRICANS. THEY ARE USING RICKERY WITH DERIRIOSN AND AND YOU MUST BE VERY AWARE OF THIER DIVISIVE TACTICS. TO AY THE LEAST WHEN YOU APPEARTED TO DENY THE ERGENTINIANS THIER RIGHT OF WAY IT LOOKED TO THE RST F SOUTH AMERICA THAT YOU HAVE JUMPED SHIP AS THE MAJOURITY OF THE SOUTH AMERICANS ARE INEPENDENT AND LOOKING TO MULTIPLY THE ECONMIC PROVISIONS FOR THIER CITIZENS THEY HAVE LED THE WORLD IN TERMS OF UPLIFTMENT WITH MORE SOUTH AMERICASN BEING ELEVATED FROM THE TARPPINGS OF SERVITUDE AND POVERTY TO REACH THE MID INCOME CATEGORY.
