Minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has raised eyebrows in Parliament over the newly appointed Inspector General of Police's (IGP) length of service, questioning whether his tenure aligns with the mandatory retirement regulations of the Ghana Police Service.
Speaking during a parliamentary session, Afenyo-Markin referenced a statement made by the Minister of Interior, which indicated that the new IGP has served in the police force for 40 years.
The Minority Leader, however, expressed curiosity about the timeline of the IGP's career and hinted at the need to verify whether he is due for retirement soon. "Mr Speaker, the minister responsible for government communications told the country that the new IGP has spent 40 years in the service-40 years as a police officer.
So, at the right time, we would calculate whether he entered at 2019 or 2018, his age, and all," Afenyo-Markin stated.
