Interior Minister calls for installation of CCTV cameras in Gov’t institutions to prevent nefarious activities

The Minister of the Interior Mark Woyongo has called for the installation of CCTV cameras at sensitive areas in all government institutions to prevent people from engaging in nefarious activities one of which is said to have caused the fire at the central medical stores in Tema yesterday.

The country's biggest drug storage and distribution outlet was engulfed by fire with the Ministry of Health suspecting arson. 

Mr Woyongo made the call when he visited the fire scene earlier this morning.

Mr Woyongo tasked the Ghana Police Service to collaborate with the Ghana National Fire Service to come out with a comprehensive report on the cause of the fire and the extent of damage.

It has emerged that the Central Medical Store which was gutted by fire Tuesday Morning was not insured.

According to the Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Health Service, Tony Goodman says this means that government would have to bear the cost of the loss.
