The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Paul Quaye has dismissed suggestion of bias and unprofessionalism on the part of the police service, saying the Service would continue to be fair to all manner of persons, irrespective of their creed, colour, ethnic origins or political considerations.

“I’m focused, and indeed, the entire police service is all ears to deliver on its mandate fairly and professionally to the entire citizenry of Ghana,” Mr Quaye said.

The IGP gave the assurance when he spoke in an exclusive telephone interview with The National Democrat when the paper called to congratulate him and his men on their prompt reaction to calls placed to them by ordinary citizens of Ghana.

Mr. Quaye would not react to the recent outburst by the vulgar serial caller now the Deputy Communications Director of Nana Addo’s campaign, Mr Samuel Awuku, to the effect that he (IGP) “is weak” and therefore ought to be relieve of his post.

The police boss was confident of his outfit’s preparedness to deal ruthlessly with any miscreant bent on fomenting trouble prior to, during and after the 2012 elections and therefore warned people with such intention to desist from it before the long arm of the police catches up with them.

He said he and his men would not sit down for a few selfish and greedy individuals in the society to take the good people of Ghana hostage for their parochial interests.

Last two weeks, speaking on an Tema-based radio station, Adom FM’s morning programme, Dwaso Nsem, Mr Awuku disdained and abused the IGP and the entire Police Service, accusing them of being bias and that the IGP in particular “is weak” and ought to be sacked since his continued stay in office was a major security threat as the general elections draw near.

Indeed, many a political pundits have considered Mr. Awuku’s vile attacks on the personality of the IGP as an extension of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) clandestine plot to undermine and render null and void, the Ghana Police Service.

The unbridled assault on the IGP followed remarks by the NPP Chairman, Mr Jake Otanka Obetsebi-Lamptey recently that the Akans would visit Cote d’Ivoire on Ghana if they felt their mandate was stolen by the ruling party.

According to the NPP Chairman, it was the Akans who sparked the Cote d’Ivoire civil war because they were dissatisfied with the results of the elections and would do same in Ghana, come 2012 elections if they feel cheated.

Prior to the NPP’s advertisement of mayhem being visited on Ghanaians, Ursula Owusu, another vulgar Nana Addo partisan also called on NPP activists to arm themselves because they (NPP) could not trust the Police Service in dealing with security issues in the country.

According to her, “…the lives and safety of their members appear to receive little or no attention in the hands of the police in recent times…,” and urged them to “…protect themselves in safeguarding their lives and property during the 2012 elections if the police fail to accord protection to them and Ghanaians.”
