    His benefactors lost the Election, and that is the uncouth way to behave to please them. Shameful!

  • DErrick 7 years ago

    This minister seems to fire before choosing a target. You are in this together so its too early to start calling for heads. Remember, that you may need the police soon and you need to court them first.

    Napo, if your plan is to get rid of professionals working during the previous govt, then please, hasten slowly for your fall is around the corner

  • Paa Kwasi 7 years ago

    Hon. Minister, I believe you ought to set up a committee ti investigate the matter , based on their recommendations then action is taken. You are rushing in your conclusions, please try to be cautious.

  • Just That? 7 years ago

    If it is true that the Minister said the two police officers be sacked, then it is unfortunate because he has all the powers it takes to initiate investigations against them which will lead to their sack. This is dictatorial ...

    We don't need South African style police in our cities. Law and order is paramount for our progress but that does not mean the police are above the law

    The police has to face the music themselves and learn the laws of the country, whichever it is.
