Has The Time Come For Ghana's Inspector General of Police To Start Firing Police Personnel Who Misconduct Themselves When Dealing With Civilians?

The arrest this morning, of our driver, by a police patrol team from the Kasoa Divisional Command, which apparently suspected that the vehicle he drives was an "uncustomed' vehicle ("Eye Togo car! I have reported it to National Security!"), was most revealing.

To begin with, it ought to be made clear that the Ghana Police Service has some very fine men and women in it - and the Inspector General of Police ought to be very proud of the top brass in charge of the Kasoa Divisional Police Command.

They are real gentlemen and fantastic human beings. Very polished. And they are truly world-class police officers.

Speaking of which, one particularly commends Inspector Frank Kofi Tsikata to his superiors in the Kasoa Divisional Police Command. He it was, whose astonishing tact and diplomacy calmed me down considerably, when I stormed the Kasoa MTTU's office - apoplectic that some arrogant female officer (Cynthia) was slandering my family by alleging that the vehicle was an uncustomed vehicle. Pure nonsense on bamboo stilts.

Hmmm Oman Ghana - eyeasem o. Asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa.

Although her superior ordered her to apologise to me - which she did - so egregious was that sodden Cythia's arrogance that for the greater good of society, she must be exposed - and ought to be retrained swiftly before she ends up framing someone innocent someday: because the self-same person she victimises "provoked" her. Impudent woman.

She really isn't fit to wear the police uniform that has made her so power drunk. The Inspector General of Police must start firing all police officers who misconduct themselves when dealing with civilians.

Enough is enough. Haaba.
