IGP Arrives This Week

To An Exciting Welcome By Senior & Junior Officers

The Inspector General of Ghana Police, Mr. Paul Tawiah Quaye is scheduled to arrive home this week, sources within the men in black have hinted The Informer. Ghana’s national Police boss is expected by deep throat sources at the Police Headquarters, to touchdown at the Kotoka International Airport, on Friday Evening or latest by Saturday Morning, to a camaraderie-full welcome planned by some very powerful senior Police officers and other junior ranks.

Mr. Paul Quaye is zooming into town after three weeks of absence, for medicals. The three weeks leave is part of a month-long leave approved for him by the Office of the President, as far back as November last year, but which he delayed in going, as a result of the local assembly elections, which he wanted to personally tele-guide operational responses to troubled spots.

Sources within Presidency and the Ghana Police Service told The Informer that the IGP contrary to a smear campaign by the ‘Deputy Chief Constable’ is expected to continue in office, as the number one Police Commander in the country, just by stepping his foot on the tarmac at the Kotoka International Airport. Sources at the office of the President denied an orchestrated rumor that Mr. Paul Quaye proceeded on leave to usher in his exit from of office, as the IGP, and that he was to be replaced by Mr. Mohammed Alhassan, the Deputy IGP whose inordinate ambition to become I.G. makes him look like a child, especially after he in an attempt to impress the authorities, personally went and mounted a ‘spot check’ on the Accra-Nsawam road, resulting in him being a target of a GH¢1 bribe, by a driver’s assistant (tro-tro mate) and to make matters worse engineered a media blitz.

The source at the Castle, Osu, asked The Informer to, in rubbishing the circulated false claims, reinstate President Mills support for the reform programmes embarked upon by Mr. Paul Quaye and his personal confidence in the competence and capabilities of the IGP he appointed in May 2009.

Mr. Paul Quaye, since his appointment as the IGP has embarked on a vigorous programe of action tailored to reform the institution. In line with his leadership style, the Police laid out a crime combat operation across the country, and this led to the bustardization of notorious criminals some of whom were arrested just before they could launch their robbery operations. A five year national strategic plan, a blue print for his reform programme was accepted and launched by the government and is the current guide to Police activities. Launching the Strategic Plan, the first ever in the history of the country, His Excellency, Vice President John Dramani Mahama, who happens to be the Chairman of the Police Council, expressed government’s total commitment in implementing the reform programmes captured in the special document.

With Paul Quaye leading a team of Police Officers who are experts in finance, the Ghana Police Service convinced the Finance Ministry, the Fair Wages Commission and the Accountant General Department and became the first institution in the country, to be logged on the mouth-watering, Single Spine Salary Structure. In July last year, the men in black, who hitherto had been looked upon with some disdain, suddenly became the benchmark and the hope of all, especially security institutions in the country.

In spite of such major achievements which have boosted the confidence of Police officers in the country, and attracted much public expectation and respect, Mr. Paul Quaye has become a target of a destructive campaign aimed at whittling his morale, the respect officers have for him and question the basis of his razzmatazz: a major attribute that saw him attract government’s support to allocating a huge chunk of the STX Affordable Houses to the Ghana Police Service.

Concerned senior officials who were embarrassed by the untruth that was being peddled about their commander contacted some senior officials of the Presidency and called for an end to the spread of the wicked lies. Although the senior government officials, some of who are in charge of security, denied the rumor, the spin-doctors continued spreading their claims, even as of yesterday, Sunday, January 16, 2011.

Editor’s Note

The Informer newspaper hopes that by this publication, heralding the arrival of the IGP, the propagandists of the Deputy Chief Constable will withdraw their wicked operational tools and recoil into their shelves.

However, should they continue their nauseating efforts at disparaging the IGP with false stories and malicious claims, we will be forced to come out with the full force that we can muster. And when that happens we will not pull the breaks on exposing the personality and the character of their master, the Number Two Chief Constable.

We are ever ready to go the full haul, so you can bring it on. We will see who will be destroyed beyond rehab. And we mean it!!!
