The Government has increased the daily peacekeeping allowance for personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces from 16 dollars to 20 dollars.
A statement from the office of the Minister of Defence, Dr Kwame Addo-Kufuor on Wednesday said the increase is in fulfilment of the government’s pledge to review the UN allowance of Ghanaian soldiers.
Vice-President Aliu Mahama announced at the 53rd anniversary of the 28th February Crossroad shooting incident last month that the government would review the peacekeeping allowances of the troops on United Nations missions.
