The Ashanti Regional Commander of the Ghana Police Service, DCOP Kofi Boakye has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) labeled him as a National Democratic Congress (NDC) party sympathizer.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”ecwpOzXjE13n121z3FMUnzG8jd8Fz8Iz”]This he said was because he was assigned to the former President Jerry John Rawlings on a number of his international travels.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cNPP came to power and some of us were nearly sacked because there was that presumption that once I have traveled with the head of state before; because I traveled with Rawlings to Libya, once I was the lead Policeman whenever Rawlings is coming I am automatically NDC.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said such misconception compelled him to stop communicating with the former President during the NPP’s regime.<\/p>\n

\u201cImmediately NPP came to power I had to cease talking to him, completely,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

DCOP Kofi Boakye reveled this on TV3\u2019s Hot Issue programme on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He however advised politicians to desist from interfering in the work of security institutions in the country, adding that \u201cin the long run it will have a devastating effect on our security, if we don\u2019t allow recruitment to be based on meritocracy but based on nepotism, patronage, favouritism, party political activity.\u201d<\/p>\n
