No sirens or police escorts without approval, Speaker Bagbin tells MPs

The directive also requires written approval from the Interior Minister or the Inspector General of Police, acting on behalf of the minister, before any individual can utilise police resources, including escort services.

Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has directed Members of Parliament and the Parliamentary Service to comply with a Cabinet directive regulating the use of police escort services and sirens on vehicles.

Addressing Parliament, Mr Bagbin said his office had received a communication from the Minister for the Interior outlining restrictions on the use of police resources, particularly escort services, as well as the installation and use of sirens.
