A communications team member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Oliver Ofori Baah has appealed to President Akufo-Addo to provide the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), with the needed logistics.
He said just as the Police and the Ghana Armed Forces have been given some logistics to improve their work, the Fire Service should be given the needed logistics to make them efficient and effective.
He was speaking on the back of backlash against the GNFS and the delay in fighting the Hong Kong Market fire in Makola on Monday.
The GNFS has been slammed for the way in handling the outbreak.
The service attributed their challenge to the lack of water in the hydrants and also the lack of the needed logistics to fight fire in Ghana.
Reacting to the issue, Oliver Ofori Baah noted that it would be best for the government to retool the service.
He commended the government for the support given to the Police and Military adding, the Police Service has become so attractive that almost everyone wants to join the service. I am appealing to the government to make the GNFS attractive by providing them with the needed support and logistics”.
He also made an appeal for the Prisons Service saying, they need support. We have to retool them and motivate them to serve the country.
He recounted how he rejected advice by his uncle to join the Prisons Service because of the poor condition under which they work.
According to him, his uncle had to go on voluntary retirement due to their poor working conditions.
