Accra, March 26, GNA - The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) would next week introduce a pocket size version of the Forces code of ethics for all soldiers, Lieutenant General Joseph B. Danquah, Chief of Defence Staff has said.

"Most of the soldiers tend forget some of our ethics of our profession after they have passed out, so this booklet will serve as a guide to them in times of difficulty," the military chief reiterated. Lt. Gen. Danquah said this on Tuesday when inaugurating a therapeutic fountain built by the Forces Pay Office (FPO) Unit. Lieutenant Colonel Ababio Serebour, Commanding Officer of the Unit, said the FPO's duties had been very stressful hence the construction of the fountain to help them unwind.

Lt-Col Serebour called on the GAF to expedite work on computerization of the FPO to enable it meet current global transformation in information technology.
