Judges and lawyers in ghana are more corrupt than Police follow by politicians. Ghana police officers are interested in collecting 1 cedi on the road if you pay them they don't care whatever you are carrying along even if it is amunitions they will allow you to go and use it to kill others. That is Ghana police for you.

I agree with you 100%. The judiciary and the lawyers are the most corrupt in Ghana. They can threaten and swindle you at will. That is why Ghana is not making any progress.

Ghana needs men like you. But not fools from NDC Party who always think about themselves first before their own country. That is the mind set of every NDC from Mahama to the foot soldier. Enjoy your day!

this matter of hammah is the most serious of all as it proves most importantly that the verdict was tampered with. her greed is of no consequence as it isnt impossible to make a million if after 8 years on invests her earnings into real estate development for example which actually proves her estimate to be right . what is damning here is the fact that pepeni's pillow talk is leading the country into a constitutional crisis if he doesn't resign or is impeached with a immediate effect. by sacking her admits to her letting the cat out of the bag that he bribed the judges and is therefor an illegitimate president with an illegitimate govt. we consider any decision from today onwards nun and void and not binding . any loan or monies spent we shall not honor , also to the weak npp we say to you also , participating in this sweep under the carpet and lets get back to business as usual is more than just shameful. the institutions of state such as the army , police bni , judicial should all be telling us they are conducting investigations and are ready to arrest pepeni and the culprits immediately as the true rule of law must be upheld . pepeni start packing .as was Mary Magdalena instrumental so is Victoria mahama we love you and shall even marry your harlot ashawo ass as you have been unwittingly an instrument of God in once again exposing these pepeni and ayigbe criminals . long live the republic of Akan

We are all corrupt but some are seriously corrupt than others and their way of doing it kills the nation.I know a white woman who has travelled extensively in her life and claims that Ghanaian Police is the most stupid person she has met in her life, simply because they take bribe at every point in time. It is obvious that we can make no progress because of corruption. All gov't institutions are corrupt but the most serious one is by the law enforcing agency...POLICE. They behave as if they are above the law.

Well scrutinized by the researchers. Ghana Police Service and its investigation team are very corrupt than the word corrupt. They are always using the outfit for money gains from innocent and bribers organizations and other institutions in the country.

The police service emerged from PUR OWN CORRUPT society......so why look at them like we are not familiar with who they are, and what they are capable if doing??? Go to the law courts, the ministries and they are there!!! Nothing seems to work 'sanely' without CORRUTPTION!!! What kind of people are we? MY GOODNESS!!!!

Ghana Police Personnel are really disgracing the Country. Despite the Fact that the Government has tripled their salaries they are still extorting moneys from drivers on the road. Tamale in the Northern Region is even worse, Sundays and Public Holidays, you will see these Police standing by the road side just to extort money from drivers. Measures must be put in place like Anas investigating strategy to capture those involve and get then dismissed. But the big question here is who is to apply this disciplinary action? because most of these junior officers are being detail by their superiors to go and extort. Mr. President this is a big problem. The Police and the other security personnel must also be paying for the utilities like water and the Electricity the consume. They are cheating us too much. Thank you

Ghana police officers are the most burgers amongst all the law enforcement officers, why is it that every police officer in Ghana think their jobs are only on the road and nothing else? As a matter of fact the police officers must know they are not traffic control officers neither highway control officers or their job is to collect money from who ever they meet especially people driving with DV numbers, it is time for something to be done about this otherwise it is ruining the image of the country which is already in bad shape ...

This is no news. Every driver on the roads in Ghana knows this. We do not really need any scientific research to know it. The other thing we know is that no government have tried to stop the police from being cirrupt. We hear that, a shre of what they collect goes up to the highest rank. The poor will continue to remain poor, that is the philosophy in Ghana. Try hard to get out of poverty by yourselve and dont believe any help will ever come from anywhere, except you join politics.

SEKO, you are absolutely right,no government has taken steps to stop the police from being corrupt.The police service has compromised its position by only collecting money from trotro and taxi drivers.
Very surprising to learn that newly recruited young policewomen also storm the streets at dawn every morning to extort money from drivers.
Regional Ministers and Regional Police Commanders are aware of this canker yet no attempt made to stop the Police from using their uniforms to exploit drivers.
The image of the Police service has been tainted by this practice. Those involved in collecting money from drivers at dawn everyday should be arrested and dismissed from the service. Not until this is done Ghanaians will never respect the police service.
This shameful behaviour is rampant at Akwatialine/Alabar street, Aboabo/Asawase street, Bompata/FNT street, Prempeh Assembly Hall/Rex Cinema street etc etc.
The Regional Police Command,Ashanti Regional Minister and Nana Otumfuo Osei Tutu 11 are kindly entreated to take steps to stop the Police from invading the streets at dawn just to collect money from drivers and then go back to the barracks to share the booty.
The general public has lost faith and confidence in the police service because of this disgraceful behaviour.
It must stop forthwith.Start dismissing policemen and women who are only interested in extorting money from drivers.Enough is enough.

Question:

When I tried to report an investigator in matter beeing robbed by stuff, who asked me officially for a support of gasoline, after I gave him already 50 GHC, the comissioneer of the Kumasi police called his deputy and lets him know, that he doesn't understand me and that he never wants to see me again.
His question to me was: Don't you have corruption in Germany.
My answer was: By far not as much as you have in Ghana, in Germany corruption is dangerous and therefor an exeption.
His deputy listened to the record I made of the request from the investigator and punished him.
Btw.: In matter of my reported, stolen property up to today nothing happened - I swore to myself not to bribe any more.
In my country (Germany) we call the police our friend and helper
