This is the way the administration flows, they are only apologizing because the 91 year old decided that she was not going to take it lying down, other wise they would have rolled over her and done the change. Shame on Vanderpuije and the whole administration. You did it to Ohene Djan and now to this sweet old lady. Hurray to Theodosia for standing up and speaking up.
Ghanaians should take a cue from this old lady and protest the evil, corruption, and hardships in the society. BRAVO Theodosia!!!!!!

It is simply horrifying the poor level of command of the English language displayed on Ghanaian websites. I once browsed through an Angolan website and the level of English was far, far higher than one finds on Ghanaian sites. And Angola is a Lusophone or Portuguese-speaking country! I must say it is more of a joy reading Nigerian sites too, even when they write in pidgin.

Folks most users of this platform is tarnishing the credibility it's meant to command. Could anybody just dream and publish it here? No any reliable facts or references to check what they publish? What a waste of time and Internet resources? Why would the operators of this platform allow these? How would these meet the intend purposes of setting up the platform, for funny jokes? Look, for many reasons this platform must have been stock of practical ideas to push both individuals and the whole nation forward. I do not wholly blame these irrelevant, provocative, divisiveness, tribalistic, etc comments on this platform on those contributors, but particularly on the operators who just can't sit up to censor some of the writings demeaning the essence of the platform. Here must be place to join minds isn't? Do vultures go to beautiful restaurants to eat? Because the operators have left this platform as rubbish dump that's why a lot of both rubbish reporting and comments are attracted to the platform. I hope this platform owner(s) would see my point, rethink and go back for a better vision just like how credible and reputable platforms do always possess.

Nii, if contributors have appreciation for relevance and courtesy to discuss issues on this platform it would be attractive to discerning people of Ghana to find divergent answers to issues on the platform.
Anyway, what I think we can do to overhaul the police service to ensure value for money and also purposeful dignity maintained are;
1. Parliament should legislate an independent police complain commission (IPCC)
2. This commission would be watchdog over the activities of the police, investigate and report to the judiciary and parliament about complains lodged against police officers or the service in general for all required sanctions to be taken against offending police officers.
3. Transparent and easy monitoring system to ensure complainants can trace their cases to the end must be provided
4. The Ghanaian public must be encourage to report criminal activities of the police to the IPCC with evidence like taking photos, record conversations, etc when they suspect crime in the police activities
5. Anonymous Websites and telephone hotlines can be created by the IPCC for complainants who may be afraid to be track by the police for reporting crimes in the police administration
6. Monitoring system set up to weed out abusive use of these facilities
Nii, I wish time permits but no.
Thanks

Ghana Police Has a Reputation to Protect?
Ok ok, do you not know that Ghanaian/black bigots are the loudest complainants about racism? Motherfucker bigots.
And why do our Sakawa "Prophets" keep accepting bribe money and other ill-gotten wealth as tithe? Why can't they publicly say "we don't want your dirty money. Take it back where you got it". Motherfucker Sakawa "Prophets".
Oh, by the way, why are too many Ghanaians so stupid (or just greedy?!) enough to be separated from the monies by Sakawa "Prophets".
Oh, Kwame Nkrumah, please come back. your people have become a disappointment.
Nkrumah never dies.
Sekou no Kwame
Mahama no Kwame
Addo no Kwame
CPP no Kwame
NDC no Kwame
NPP no Kwame
How can Nkrumah's own people be so daft, so greedy, so bigoted ....?!
Btw, why do daft motherfuckers keep saying Sekou should talk about Egypt and not Ghana. Fuck shit idiots, who is a Ghanaian? It so hard to argue/reason with too many Ghanaians due to their momoni/totobi/koobi cognitive development.
And Mills, he was a good man who turned out to be highly gullible. He would have handed his motherland over to TBJ and other Sakawa “Prophets”.

i g p also get his booty and so he can not stop his men from taken bribe. it is a tradition.
The drivers who offer the bribes are also culprits and I challenge them to be brave enough to refuse paying the bribes. If they stop the overloading, get their documents in order, no policeman will get bribe from them.
That's right Ben,

MTTU All over Ghana are exorting monies from all drivers not only commercial drivers. The good IGP please take action on MTTU officials now to safe the good image of the police.
This igp is useless and stupid. He talks more than he works so stopping trying to pain him nice cus we all know he's weak period
Some people have damage the image already. The question is, is this government committed to fighting the almost institutionalised corruption? Ghana is finished.
