The Attorney General, (AG) and Minister for Justice, Gloria Akuffo visited the AG regional offices early last year to inspect the progress of work and discovered that these offices had limited vehicles, furniture, computers, washroom among others which has affected the effectives and quality of work.
The AG revealed that the process for the procurement of the vehicles had already been started by her predecessor from the proceeds of an excess of $900,000 in their account.
She revealed that she did a lot of work when she resumed office and that has given a positive feedback which was used to procure the vehicles, and also to refurbished furniture, created two new car parks and restored all broken down washrooms in the head office.
Ms Ursula urged directors to ensure regular maintenance to keep the vehicles in good shape to increase their longevity.
Emily Addo-Okyireh of the Eastern Regional Office expressed appreciation to the AG on behalf of all the regional heads.
She gave the assurance that they would put the vehicles to the best of use to ensure that the office of the AG works effectively in all regions.
The regional offices that received the vehicles included those in Greater Accra, Kumasi, Koforidua, Sunyani, Ho, Cape Coast, Wa, Bolgatanga, Tamale and Sekondi Takoradi.
