Bribes for Police College?

In a centre spread story, the Dispatch reports the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Peter Nanfuri as being called upon to institute an enquiry in to allegations that some members of the Ghana Police Service are demanding two million cedis as bribe from their colleagues who sat for promotion examinations for entry into the Police College.

The paper quotes a police source as alleging that candidates who could afford the bribe, have been assured success and entry to the prestigious college for commissioning officers.

The source, says the Dispatch noted that failure by the IGP to investigate the allegation would result in producing half-baked senior police officers.

According to the source, prior to the examinations about two months ago, there were rumours of leakage, especially in the Greater Accra and Volta Regions. The Dispatch says about 200 Police Chief Inspectors and Inspectors, drawn from all departments of the Service, took part in the promotion examinations.
