Ex cop fumes at Henry Quartey: Stop disrespecting police officers

Some police officers expressed anger at the Interior Minister Henry Quartey for describing them as dirty people.

It comes after the minister during the commissioning of the new housing facility for the police publicly warned the officers not to extend their untidy behavior to the new facility.

Reacting to the comments, Chief Inspector Collins Kwaku Amankwah (rtd) told Dailymail.com.gh that the minister’s comment is disrespectful and shameful.

“He speaks with no respect for the men and women of the service…  It is shocking that we put our lives on the line to protect citizens and yet have our own sector minister speak to us in such a degrading manner,” the retired officer said.

The Interior Minister, at a ceremony to hand over newly constructed housing units to the police criticised the unkempt nature of the police and tasked the IGP “to ensure that these building do not see those type of things we see in police barracks”.

Sources say other serving officers are equally incensed over the matter with some contemplating petitioning the police management board (POMAB) over the remarks of the minister.

President Akufo-Addo a fortnight ago commissioned 320 housing units for Officers of the Ghana Police Service at the Police Training School, Tesano in Accra.

The housing units, which are part of the Security Services Housing Project Phase Three, comprise 112 two-bedroom and 208 three-bedroom units. Additional facilities include an officers’ mess, a social centre, two multipurpose playing courts, and a kindergarten.

The project is expected to impact the lives of police officers and their families positively. It is a testament to the Government’s dedication to supporting the security services.
