Resigned IGP’s Executive Secretary’s decision scary – NPP MP

Vice Chairman of the Defence and Interior Committee of Ghana’s Parliament, Collins Owusu Amankwah has observed that the shocking decision by the Inspector General of Police’s Executive Secretary, Superintendent Peter Lanchene Tuubo to resign and venture into politics is scary.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia North Constituency is more worried about the fact he attained a particular superior status in the service before taking a bow indicating that well-meaning Ghanaians should be concerned.

“If a police constable or lance corporal quits active service for politics the effect is very minimal compared somebody who has gone through the ranks to the extent he is an Executive Secretary to the IGP calls for concern. It means any decision taken by the IGP in relation to the security of the state and the police service he was part of it. This makes it quite scary”, he revealed in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

The lawmaker avers that many will wonder when such a decision was haboured and it may affect the neutrality of the Ghana Police Service and erode the successes chalked over the years.

Superintendent Peter Lanchene Tuubo is set to contest as National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate in the Upper West Region.

It was established by MyNewsGh.com that the outspoken cop is to contest as a parliamentary candidate for NDC in the Wa West Constituency of the Upper West Region and will have to slug it out with veteran politician and former Minister of Health, Hon Joseph Yiele Chireh.
