Interior Minister inciting Senior Police Officers against Police administration – Toobu

The Member of Parliament for Wa West, Peter Toobu, says the statements and conduct of Interior Minister Henry Quartey since he assumed office are provoking senior Police officers against the Inspector-General of Police and the Police Management Board (POMAB).

Toobu highlights that during the Minister’s recent visit to the Police Headquarters and his announcement regarding a forthcoming supplementary special recommendation list for the Police academy is concerning and unnecessarily embellishing Course 53.

“The Hon Minister is a walking contradiction

He warned social media trolls not to incite with their statement and actions, at the same meeting at the Police headquarters the minister said I have told the IGP we shall compile a supplementary special recommendation list to the Police academy,’ the Minister has no law or policy backing his statement,” the MP wrote on Facebook on Friday.

He added, “The Minister only succeeded in inciting Chief Inspectors and Inspectors against the Police administration”.

The Interior Minister upon assumption of office called for the suspension of Course 53 when the necessary procedures had been activated to get the officers selected for the programme.
