Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), Vice Admiral Mathew Quarshie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), Vice Admiral Mathew Quarshie, has directed that all companies that have defaulted in supplying cost insurance and freight (CIF) goods ordered by Ghanaian soldiers on international peacekeeping operations are to supply the goods by April 30, 2014, without fail.<\/p>\n

The CDS has further stated that the Armed Forces would take appropriate action against those companies that fail to supply the goods by the stipulated date to recover the monies paid by soldiers, and with interest where necessary.<\/p>\n

These directives were contained in a press release signed by Colonel Mbawine Atintande, Director of Public Relations of the Ghana Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese directives follow the CDS\u2019 consideration of the recommendations of a Board of Inquiry into reports that some of the mentioned companies have failed to deliver the goods ordered by the soldiers, some for years\u201d, the release said.<\/p>\n

It explained that the CIF orders were instituted by the Military High Command with the support of government over four decades ago to assist troops on international peacekeeping operations procure household appliances for their personal use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it is not intended to discontinue this welfare package for such troops, the CDS has directed a review of the scheme, and especially contracts with the local companies involved, to ensure substantial security guarantees for the beneficiary soldiers\u201d, the release indicated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it has further been directed that no new orders should be placed with the defaulting CIF companies by contingents on peacekeeping operations until the conclusion of the review exercise, and until the outstanding CIF items have been supplied.<\/p>\n
