PRESIDENT AKUFFO ADDO GRANTS DEPUTY IGP 1 YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION

🇬🇭🇬🇭

President Akufo-Addo has approved a one-year contract extension for retired Commissioner of Police, James Oppong-Boanuh.


COP Oppong-Boanuh, who was appointed as the Deputy Inspector-General of Police only two weeks ago prior to his 60th birthday was granted the extension in a letter signed by the secretary to the president, Nana Bediatuo Asante.

The letter said;

One Year Contract of Service as Deputy inspector-General of Police

“With reference to your letter dated 17th September, 2018, and a Memo dated 3rd October, 2018, from the Minister for the Interior on the subject matter above. I am pleased to inform you that the President of the Republic has granted you a one-year contract service as Deputy Director-General of the Police effective 8th October, 2018 to 7th October, 2019.”

The Finder Newspaper earlier this week reported of simmering tensions among Senior Officers, Inspectorate and other ranks of the Ghana Police Service following the suspicion that COP James Oppong Boanuh was deliberately appointed Deputy Inspector-General of Police (IGP) as a ploy to force the Police Council and the President to offer him two-year contract extension at the end of his service.

COP Oppong Boanuh, who was on leave before retirement as procedure demands but was reportedly appointed to place him in pole position as the next IGP when David Asante-Apeatu leaves office on August 14, 2019.

The Deputy IGP position, which is part of the Police Service Regulations under Constitutional Instrument (C.I.) 76, has been vacant for many years.

Since the last Deputy IGP, Mohammed Alhassan, was promoted as IGP; the Deputy IGP position remained vacant until the recent appointment of COP Oppong Boanuh.

Some of the Senior Police officers who have expressed dissatisfaction over the role given to COP Oppong Boanuh are of the view that the move blocks the chance of equally competent but younger officers.

"I’m just lying in bed, looking at the ceiling and asking myself what’s the purpose of life? Is it not the peak of heartlessness to knock down a fellow being and speed off? To you, the driver of the WHITE saloon car, who hit Lt. Felix Sormenah at Aburi on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 and bolted; may you never find peace. One of your driver’s mirrors, which got yanked off due to the impact of your recklessness is with the police. Help Please, don’t be an accessory to murder if your friend, husband, brother or uncle came home that night without a driver’s mirror or confessed his deed to you. He hit a military officer, who was training officer cadets and never stopped to help. His action took the life out of a fine officer, who was to marry on October 6, 2018 (attached to the picture is the wedding invitation). Dear friends and followers, let’s share this narrative until the driver reports himself to the police. Rest In Peace, Felix. My children are equally heartb
