  • NPP FORCED THE POLICE TO CHANGE THEIR STANCE AND MAKE THE NEW STATEMENT 3 months ago

    The NPP Government is a disgrace. Knowing that they want to use the Military to cheat in the elections, they are preparing Ghanaians to expect soldiers on the street during 2024 elections.

    They are going to punish him for saying the right thing?

  • Kwaku 3 months ago

    Without the Army involvement in our election NDC led by John Dramani Mahama and Asiedu Nketia will win every election. Even as we speak they have already prepared the minds if their followers for war after Dec 7th 2024.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 3 months ago

    In every developed democracy, Soldiers really do not take part in the security of any democratic elections. The officer was right.The Police are responsible. The training of Soldiers are different from the Police. The Militar ...

    My brother, you have said it all. I don't know what is pushing the Police to issue this unprecedented Press Release to humiliate one of their own. Is it not true that election security is the 'baby ' of the Police? Is it not ...

    The culture and the mindset of NDC from the failed JJ revolution make it important necessity for the Army to be involved in our current election. The day NDC followers realise that indelible ink are archaic in checking multip ...

    So why didn't the Police PRO or the Director-General/Operations go to represent the Police Administration at such an important event and program like this? What briefing did the DCOP get before going to speak there? The PRO s ...

    In what capacity did this DCOP Waahab speak? Is he the PRO of the Police Service? People must learn to be professional in their places of work.

  • Thomas 3 months ago

    The DCOP’s remarks are absolutely correct. Even in Rawlings time the Armed Forces never involved themselves in any electoral process. It was the police and the Fire Brigade.
    I have lived in Europe for twenty five years and ...

    @Thomas, your comparison is a bit simplistic and problematic. Nobody's advocating for military presence in elections. But I think your premises for saying so are quite shaky. The European country you've lived in for 25 years ...

  • Abusuapanin 3 months ago

    DCOP Waabu should be sacked. Is it the Police management that told him to say what he said? Is he the spokesman for the Police? Even if it is wrong for the Army to get involved in elections, was he chosen by the Police Serv ...

    No discipline in Ghana. Thieves here, thieves there and thieves everywhere. Meanwhile the racist zionist state of Israel is committing genocide in Palestine with the blessing of Western countries.

  • Odjame 3 months ago

    What sort of nonsense is this. Elections are internal affairs and it is the duty of the police , not the armed forces to provide security . Why are we not straight forward in our dealings ?

    THE FAKE AND USELESS GHANA ARMY NEED TO STAY IN BARRACKS. THE MILITARY DOES NOT INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN VOTING. ITS ONLY IN AFRICA THAT GOES ON. ELECTIONS IN GHANA WILL ALWAYS BE PEACEFUL IF THE ARMY DONT GET INVOLVED

    I don't understand something here. What the DCOP said is not different from what we all been hearing from the police. So why?
