Other big wigs in the NDC contesting for the same slot are veteran politician and former Minister of Health, Hon Joseph Yiele Chireh. The cop’s decision to go into politics came with high levels of criticism from the public and some politicians on the other side.
One of such person’s is the Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary select committee on defense and interior Collins Owusu Amankwah.
“If a police constable or lance corporal quits active service for politics the effect is very minimal compared somebody who has gone through the ranks to the extent he is an Executive Secretary to the IGP calls for concern. It means any decision taken by the IGP in relation to the security of the state and the police service he was part of it. This makes it quite scary”, he revealed in an interview monitored after the officer’s exit for the Ghana police service was made public.
