In Ghana Human Beings have to run when a car is approaching, how can a human being run faster than a car? Cars must be made to stop when people are crossing. Slow speeding signs have to be posted everywhere in residential streets, and when approaching villages and towns. Our traffic regulations sucks!

You are right but sometimes in Ghana, humanbeings are not afraid of cars but afraid of rainfall.When it rains they run but when car is approaching they walk as they want.

That is funny Oas, but we need to be serious with our road traffic regulations, it is very important. People are dying useless deaths.

Remove Indemnity Clause 11 years ago

100 million police in Ghana is equivalent to 1 policeman in the developed world, Ghanaian police only stand in the middle of the roads especially week ends and collect only bribes from incompetent drivers.

Ghanaian police accept only bribes. How can we have police officers in Ghana and the chiefs work with Chinese to loot our gold and destroy our land.

A guy was driving when a policeman pulled him over. He rolled down his window and said to the officer, "Is there a problem, Officer?"
"No problem at all. I just observed your safe driving and am pleased to award you a 5,000 cedis Safe Driver Award. Congratulations. What do you think you're going to do with the money?"
He thought for a minute and said, "Well, I guess I'll go get that drivers' license."
The lady sitting in the passenger seat said to the policeman, "Oh, don't pay attention to him - he's a smartass when he's drunk and high on Ganja."
The guy from the back seat said, "I TOLD you guys we wouldn't get far in a stolen car!"
At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a muffled voice said, "Are we over the Togo border yet?

I know this strategy can only work with western officers into our country to train our police officers. Our top police officials must be humble to invite the best into Ghana to train the youth instead of wanting to sit back and take bribes..... God help mother and change the hearts of our weak corrupt officers, Amen

YOU SHOULD GO HOME AND STOP WORRYING OUR EARS. SOME OF YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSEMENT TO THE GOVERNMENT AND MOST OF THE POLICEMENT REGRET VOTING FOR THE NDC BECAUSE OF THE LIKES OF YOU AND AYALINGO WHO HAVE BEEN RETIRED BUT YOU ARE STILL USING YOUR POLITICAL CONNECTIONS TO STAY IN OFFICE. I SALUTE THE FORMER IGP MR QUAYE FOR HIS EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP STYLE AND MAKING A MARK NOT TO WORK EVEN WITH HIS LEAVE DAYS. SHAME ON YOU ALHAJI MAHAMA AND AYALINGO. YOU ARE A DISGRACE FOR THE POLICE AND POSTERITY WOULD JUDGE YOU. I WOULD PLEAD WITH THE PRESIDENT TO AS A MATTER OF FACT RELEAVE THESE TWO GREEDY BASTRADS OF THEOR POSITIONS BEFORE THE MORAL OF THE PERSONNEL SINK FURTHER. BY THE WAY WHAT SPECIAL SKILLS DO THEY HAVE TO OFFER TO THE POLICE SERVICE APART FROM THE USUAL BACK BITING, WOMANIZING AND CHARACTER ASSASINATION THAT THEY ARE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED FOR? HOW CAN A 4 YEAR PUPIL TEACHER WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL SKILLS BE GIVEN CONTRACT TO SERVE ASD A HUMAN RESOURSE DIRECTOR OF AN INSTITUTION LIKE THE GHANA POLICE SERVICE WHILST TALENTS ABOUND IN HUMAN RESOURCES WHO ARE WASTING AWAY? WHAT STRATEGIC THINKING WOULD THESE GUYS BRING TO THE TABLE? ACT MR. PRESIDENT BEFORE WE TURN AGAINST YOU BECAUSE OF THESE WASTE PIPES OCCUPYING VERY SENSITIVE POSITIONS IN THE POLICE SERVICE. HUMAN RESOURCE IS A VERY IMPORTANT DEPARTMENT AND SHOULD NOT BE LEFT AT THE MERCY OF A KNOW-NOTHING LIKE ALHAJI HAMIDU WHO IS THERE BECAUSE HE WAS A CDR CADRE. THE MAN IS RETIRED PERIOD AND SHOULD BE BOOTED OUT IMMEDIATELY!

The Police service is ethnocentric. Most recruits are from Eweland. Ashantis are virtually excluded. Ashantis are not considered at the TOP POLICE COMMAND. Mahama must stop Ashanti-Excusionism tendencies. Already President Mahama is at the center on National anti-ashanti.
Has the National Policing plan address the massive anti-ashanti tendencies?

What are the contents of the strategic plan? and what actions and timeframes within which you are going to achieve them?
Please take out the "World Class" policing status from your description of the Ghana Police service as the level of incompetence from the top-down to the lower ranks of the Ghana police service will not enable the Ghana police service to come near world class in the near 50 years.
If in doubt walk into any police station in even Accra, the capital and compare it to the average kitchen in Ghana and see the difference. I recently went to the Korle Bu Police station and was dumbfounded by the state of the station. The state of the station was not different from an average kitchen in Ghana.

I think I agree with Adwen... Those police chiefs are thieves and the worse to ever happen to Ghana. How could you a man that can't even control a common police station promise Ghanaians of world class. Foolish man. Stop lying to us but I believe John Mahama is going to bring all those corrupt officers to the table to confess. Foolish Alhaji sampa my foot.

The problems facing Ghanaian security institutions are lack of well endowed address database and failing equipment.

How do you implement a five year plan without having a viable database or statistical methodologies in fighting internal crime? We need a combination of well educated crime analysts and criminal intelligence officers to battle internal criminals. BNI must come out with a clear strategy, its law enforcement capabilities are questionable as we question if its an intelligence gathering institution or a political law enforcement agency.

They need to organise a major security symposium and most of us with Western styled security experience will come back home to help the agencies.

Gender equality should not be taken
into such level. Women driving, riding
in convoys or chasing modern day criminals is dangerous business. You
can hardly see such in the advanced
nations.

Why didn't you implement this strategy long ago until now that a Dutch woman has been killed. Criminals from the pit of hell.
