    This KMA boss is a big crook working with great crooks in the country to deal in "the stuff" big time. Kudos, KMA boss for the recent success in sending those stuff out there for bid cash.

    IT WAS WRONG FOR THE MAYOR TO HAVE REPORTED AT THE POLICE STATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. HE (KMA BOSS)IS THE BOSS OF THE ENTIRE METRO. IT IS THE COURT THAT CAN INVITE HIM NOT A MERE POLICE COMMISSIONER.

  • karota 10 years ago

    The Mayor in Ghana's cities ARE NOT THE HEAD OF POLICE in their jurisdiction! I don't know were you're getting that from. In the police line of command, no where does DCE's or MCE's come in. Lets assume you're right. It s ...

  • AkwasiB (USA) 10 years ago

    This is a typical case of arrogance and apathy - I don't know;I don't care mentality. An exhibition of pure arrogance and total dis-respect of the laws by our so called leaders. The police is forever, but political appointmen ...

    I am an ex DSP of the Ghana Police Service. I do not identify with this District Police Commander over his frustrations. I think his frustrations are self-inflicted. Under the laws of Ghana, there is equality before the law a ...

    Once he is under arrest, they can then keep him from "being" one minute to 48 hours for the purposes of their investigations

    NB: In the above sentence, the word "being" should read "between" else the intended meaning would ...

    Mr Ex. DSP, I agree with you in respect to the powers of arrest of the police. However, I would have to disagree with the police invitation to the Mayor. This is because the Mayor is the head of the local government under whi ...

    "This is because the Mayor is the head of the local government under which the police answers."

    The above statement betrays your crass ignorance of the place of the police in our current constitutional democracy. Under our ...

    I think the advice comes right back at you to check your facts before exposing your ignorance to the public.One can clearly see that this was a power play by the DSP who had wanted the Mayor to come to see him privately on hi ...

    The leaders of Ghana have never obeyed the laws of Ghana or enforced it so why do you expect anyone to do anything by the laws of Ghana. The law and constitution demands all politicians including the president declare their ...

  • Justin Pwavra Teriwajah 10 years ago

    If you report to the wrong office and when you are told to go to the right office, you refuse to do so, then you have failed to report. He is simply swollen-headed by his political appointment and hence he feels too big to re ...

    P/NDC promotes fools,hooligans and goons to positions of critical importance.

    Lawlessness is a core character of the party.

    Real garbage reportage! Peace fm does not have any better things to do. Civil case not police.

  • Yaw Kusi 10 years ago

    The story does not depict any evidence of snub or disrespect by Hon. Kojo Bonsu against the Police in any way. The Hon. Mayor honoured the invitation by turning up at the Police station. However, the Hon. Mayor asked to be ex ...

    If Odike has a case, he should go to court. Land and permit matters do not fall in the ambit of police work. The should have told the complainant where to go if he had a case. The police should not make it look like they know ...

    There is no need to escalate this up anyway, just send some officers with a warrant of arrest.
    Using the right procedural protocol, if he resist SHOOT HIM and plant a gun in his hands. Job Done

  • COM'DE-VA 10 years ago

    This has certainly exposed the type of 'brains' the country is being ruled by considering the IQs of police officers and of course the journalist who even doesn't know that the KMA boss should not have honoured that supid in ...

    The police commander who invited him MUST BE FIRED for not knowing the law. THIS IS A CIVIL CASE. The police is rather abusing his powers. Are we safe in the hands of these untrained police?

  • Nantwi,BSEd,MSEd(ece),MSEd(sas) 10 years ago

    I am an educator and therefore not a lawyer. In New York,the Police Comissioner reports to the Mayor.From these premises, I don't think the Mayor should even go to the Precint. If Mr.Odike or the Police have a case,let them g ...
