“Police Receive 60 Pickup Trucks, 20 Motorcycles from Interior Minister to Safeguard 24-Hour Economy”

On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Interior Minister Muntaka Mubarak presented 60 pickup trucks and 20 motorbikes to the Ghana Police Service to bolster security under the government’s 24-hour economy initiative. The vehicles, assembled locally by Zonda Tec Ghana Limited, are intended to enhance the police’s ability to protect businesses and workers operating outside standard working hours. In a Facebook post, Mubarak announced the creation of a new specialized police unit dedicated to securing the 24-hour economy. “I announced the formation of a specialised unit within the Ghana Police Service, tasked with providing round-the-clock security for businesses and workers under this initiative,” he wrote. The donation is part of broader efforts to improve police logistics while supporting local manufacturing. Mubarak commended Zonda Tec during a visit to their assembly plant, highlighting the government’s commitment to boosting domestic production. He also revealed plans to digitalize work permit and quota issuance to reduce delays and simplify business operations. “This initiative will streamline processes, making it easier for businesses to operate efficiently and legally in Ghana,” he said. Zonda Tec CEO Madam Yang Yang welcomed the collaboration, stating that local vehicle production demonstrates Ghana’s growing industrial capacity. “We are proud to support national security while showcasing the potential of Ghanaian manufacturing,” she said. Mubarak encouraged businesses to expand under the 24-hour economy but reminded them to comply with the law. He assured the public that the Interior Ministry remains committed to ensuring the safety of all citizens.
