The risk of maintaining your position after change of government seems to be having older people as your subordinates which means until you're removed they can't assume leadership of tge organisation. Q

What has he done so admirably that will demand a contract for him after his retirement? In the first place he was not even qualified to be an IGP. Let him go Ghana Police Service don't need his incompetence.

Why not make your favorite the life-long IGP so that the Police Council shall forever have no need to worry about any replacement for the position of IGP?

HYPOCRISY, KONKONSA AND LIES IS AN NDC COCKTAIL

Do you believe what Mahama and NDC tell you? You are a joker. Truth and NDC are traveling in opposite directions. Why do you think IGP YOHUNO was appointed? They all sat down and allowed NDC foot soldiers, Azorka and Bawku boys to beat NPP members and electoral commission staff. In which country will such a policeman be allowed Stay in office after the 2024? They had a plan. God has an appointed time for all wicked people. TIME WILL TELL

PLease SAVE me my feLLow Ghanaians, i'm a 24 years oLd Ghanaian Lady that was scammed by some Nigerians, i'm currentLy stranded in Nigeria, it aLL started few months ago when i got a WhatsApp message that a traveL agency in Lagos Nigeria is recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for job openings in Canada, i soLd my business and everything i had and kept sending them money for the traveL to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Lagos that my visa is ready, when i got to Lagos they took the remaining money i had on me and took my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earLier from Ghana, i was Left stranded, i sLept on the streets for few days before i got a restaurant that accepted me to be working for them so i can be eating and have a pLace to sLeep, they don't pay me, what i gain is just the free food and sLeeping in the restaurant, pLease i need heLp of around 100,000 naira which is around 800 cedis so i can transport myseLf back to Ghana, my transport back to Ghana is expensive because i'm not with my passport, the transport companies here charge more for passengers traveLing without passport, i promise to pay back the money once i'm back to Ghana and start working, i can aLso work for anyone that heLps me with the money so the 800 GHS can be deducted from my saLary, i know it might be hard to get a singLe person that can heLp me with 800 GHS so i wiLL appreciate any amount sent to me and be gratefuL, even if i receive 50 GHS or Less i can be saving up untiL i compLete the money to 800 GHS.i can be reached on my private emaiL via sanw47354@g m a i l.com as i don't have a phone now, there's a cyber cafe beside the restaurant i work i go to whenever i'm free from work to check my maiLs and seek for heLp on Ghanaweb.

Or he hasn't saved enough to live comfortably as a pensioner? Maybe, he wants to be the first IGP to die in office. Let's put jokes aside, Tetteh Yohuno is too old to remain in the police service.

These police council members are not current. John Mahama has made it clear. NO CONTRACT upon reaching the compulsory retirement age of 60. Hope he will stick to his word. Nobody is indispensable in Ghana. if you are a leader and not coaching anyone to take over from you,then you have failed. If it's about experience, nobody is born with experience. You have a learn on the job to gain experience. If i may ask, what happens to experience people who die in active service? When Mills died, why didn't we bring Rawlings to take over because he has been president before and has the experience.

Unwarranted when there are others capable of the job.

There is an exception to every rule. IGP Yohuno should be granted a two year extension to complete the changes that he has envisaged for the police department that has crumbled under the celebrity IGP Dampare. The police force has been reduced to ceremonial officers who are deficient in the actual work of policing. Civilians are confronting police , police stations are being burned down by mobs , criminals are breaking into police stations to free their comrades, armed robbery beyond police control, highway robbery on the rise , Sakawa and ritual killings are beyond the reach of the police . Ghana needs a robust police force under an IGP with vision and an interior ministry headed by a tough minister to squash these despicable criminals.
