Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, Chairman of the National Democratic Congress has disclosed the intentions of the party to recruit 8000 Police personnel should it be elected in the December 7 polls.
According to the Chairman who was speaking at Denu in the Volta Region, where Prof. Nana Opoku Agyeman was touring, it is the goal of former President John Mahama to improve the police to civilian ratio. Also 40% of theat number will be women.
He said;
“President John Dramani Mahama says that I should inform you that he wants to improve the police to civilian ration when he becomes the next president of Ghana, and for that matter for the four years that he is going to rule.
“For every year, 2,000 additional policemen and women will be recruited.
“Our manifesto says out of the number of police officers who will be recruited, 40% of them will be women,”
President Mahama is going to build a government of national unity. We want Ghanaians to know that the unity of this country is more paramount than any other parochial political interest”.
Mr. Ampofo advised the police not to allow themselves to be manipulated by the government to promote their whims but that they should see the citizens as friends and relatives.
