Anti-corruption\u00a0 agency,\u00a0 the Ghana\u00a0 Integrity\u00a0 initiative( GII), \u00a0is asking the Ghana Police Service\u00a0 to \u00a0make public \u00a0progress on investigations into the recent police recruitment scam.<\/p>\n
In March this year, hundreds of unemployed youth\u00a0 turned up at Police training depots for enlistment into the service which later turned out to be a scam.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”e3JJmLcYNYGUCGqCDgvRMGiFit99RwUB”]It was later established that the fake recruitment letters, had the signature of its Director General of Human Resource and Administration, COP Patrick Timbillah.<\/p>\n
COP Patrick Timbilla was subsequently interdicted and other culprits arrested.<\/p>\n
But months after the arrests and interdiction, the Police have not commented on the matter.<\/p>\n
In a Citi News<\/strong> interview, Executive Secretary of GII, Vitus Azeem, said it is time the Police service opened up on the matter.<\/p>\n “Unnecessary delays also create the impression that somebody is trying to cover up something or to make Ghanaians forget about the whole matter. And we have emphasized that this is not good for the country\u2019s democracy and our fight against corruption. It\u2019s important that some investigations are conducted into credible allegations of corruption and if people are found to have broken the law they should be properly sanctioned. I think that the police should make their investigations public so that people will know what\u2019s going on and what the outcome will be\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI heard the immediate past IGP once said that they are not going to allow civil society to pressurize them on this matter. But the truth is that, we need to build people\u2019s confidence in the police service. If your answers to these are negative, then it means that there is something wrong,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Ebenezer Afanyi Dadzie\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anti-corruption\u00a0 agency,\u00a0 the Ghana\u00a0 Integrity\u00a0 initiative( GII), \u00a0is asking the Ghana Police Service\u00a0 to \u00a0make public \u00a0progress on investigations into the recent police recruitment scam.
