    Dear Jack Bably,

    It’s impressive how quickly you point the finger at “unruly youth” while somehow missing the adults standing right behind them waving the signal flags. Maybe take a moment—just a moment—to look p ...

    I wonder why this guy is the IGP. He ain't got no clue about what the to do to change the status quo. He's gotta be fired fast with his boss. Ghana is fucked under these people.

    He doesn’t know! If Mahama was not drunk, he would’ve picked a better person for the position! This man is really too slow for the job.

  • Trustee 1 month ago

    He is telling on themselves! They expect people to be afraid of common police. Unfortunately, you have to be careful with police nowadays due to the weapon they carry. No, stupid Ghana police deserve no respect.

  • Enock 1 month ago

    In 21st century, no one fears Police of soldiers, what you have to do is enforce the laws strictly, and people will fear the law, because when you misbehave,, the law will hold you accountable.

  • Enoch 1 month ago

    Why must the youth be scared of the police and the army? They don't need to fear them but rather respect them. But do the police and the army earn that respect when they themselves are indisciplined.
