Over the years, many civilians, especially drivers, have bemoaned the rate at which they are harassed and extorted by some personnel of the Ghana Police Service.
As part of measures to address concerns about police misconduct, including extortion and brutality, the Minister of Interior-designate, Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka, during his vetting, vowed to introduce body cameras for officers to ensure transparency and accountability in law enforcement.
He disclosed that the Ghana Police Service will receive 30,800 body cameras for enhanced security monitoring.
This is to top up the 800 body cameras the service already has. "We must ensure strict adherence to the use of body cameras to foil harassment and abuse of civilians by security personnel on our roads to take away all the ambiguity and the troubles," he said.
