You Can't Intimidate Us - Yamin Slams IGP Over Invitation Of NDC Executives Who Campaigned In Military Uniform

The national organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has slammed the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, over the invitation of some regional executives of the party who wore military uniforms for a campaign activity.According to Joseph Yamin, the move by the Ghana Police Service shows the one-sided policing they have been engaging in, which also results in the NDC being victimised.He added that the NDC executives were not in Ghana Armed Forces uniform."First of all, none of them were wearing uniforms of the army.

He will never get this position," he added.Background:The Ashanti Regional Police Command invited about eight members of the Ashanti Regional executives of the NDC for campaigning in what looked like uniforms of the Ghana Armed Forces.The eight are expected to appear before the police on Monday for wearing military camouflage for political party activities during former President John Mahama's campaign tour last week in the region.Confirming the invitation on Kumasi-based Abusua FM, the first vice chairman of the party, Captain Rtd Kwame Jabari, said they are preparing to meet the regional police commander to justify the use of the uniform."The camouflage was bought at Kumasi Kejetia Market, which bears no military symbol of the Ghana Armed Forces to warrant this needless invitation.
