Captain (Retired) John Kwame Jabari Appointed as Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator.
Former President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Captain (Retired) John Kwame Jabari as the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator, reinforcing the government’s commitment to enhancing regional security and stability.
Captain Jabari, a retired military officer and experienced security expert, brings extensive knowledge to the role. He previously served as the first Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), giving him both security expertise and political leadership experience.
His appointment comes at a crucial time when security concerns in the Ashanti Region remain a top priority for the government. Many believe his background in the military and politics will help him effectively coordinate security operations and collaborate with law enforcement agencies.
As the new Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator, Captain Jabari will:
• Oversee security strategies in the region.
• Work closely with national security agencies to maintain law and order.
• Ensure the effective implementation of government security policies.
• Support peace and stability efforts as the government rolls out national development programs.
The appointment has sparked mixed reactions from political stakeholders and the general public.
• Supporters of the decision believe Captain Jabari’s expertise will strengthen security in the region and enhance peaceful governance.

This appointment signals the government’s commitment to strengthening security structures at the regional level, ensuring that law enforcement efforts align with national security goals.
