He did not reject but rather he refused to accept because the guy couldnt give what they asked from him.

They can be awarded for exemplary service but not for taking bribes for goodness sake.It's like awarding a baby for peeing in his diaper.

Is refusing bribes the only act worthy of awards? What about that inspector who spent three years to unearth a complex network of criminals activities in that little village? What about that officer who, for over 20 years, was always the first to arrive at post and the last to leave?
Any way, the officers at that barrier in the middle of nowhere are still collecting bribes from drivers? And the MTTU team that set up a temporary checkpoint along the Ejisu to Kumasi road are always doing their own thing. Wake up IGP!

Commendable acts by these officers, however the stark truth is most Ghanaian police officers are damn corrupt, period. Along with commending the good officers, we have to see more of the corrupt officers being sacked and or jailed, to believe the police service is actually turning round for the better.

A journey of 1000 miles begin with a step. If all can start refusing bribes , I believe it can end or be reduced in the near future.

Keep it guys. This is how to make a change.

We should do our part in fighting corruption. Without it - we are as a nation, definitely stagnant.

That was a smart way on the part of the police to get an award from a long time. The two police men would have accepted the offer if large sum was involved.........

Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Ahmed Alhassan should enroll in some policy and media management courses to learn when and when not to confer unto his employees medals or commendations.

Ghana's police force on any given day is demoralized because the paycheck of the rank and file officers do not reflect the very critical role they play in keeping law and order in society even while they are tempted and accused of bribery and corruption, an ailment that affect every soul in the Ghanaian society. However, publicly rewarding officers for rejecting attempts of bribery reinforces the erroneous perception. Why else would it be necessary to reward/commend the officers if their act was a norm within the police force?

The Takoradi Poly Students who were sacked for applying with fake certificates must be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction. Just sacking them is not enough.

Nowadays businesses and government organisations have stopped demanding Secondary School Certificate or Basic Education Certificate.

Each of these certificates are important. For example for many tertiary graduates the only certificate that can tell whether one can speak good English or whether one has adequate knowledge of Mathematics is the Secondary School Certificate.

Similarly the only certificate that can tell whether a tertiary graduate has basic knowledge of Ghanaian history, culture, agriculture and the basic geography of West Africa is the Basic Education Certificate.

It is only in Africa that police refusal to accept bribes is rewarded. Isn't that what they are expected to be doing as normal duties?

I dont see the justification of bravery or an award being given here.The Police service by convention dont have to take bribes and thats that. no 2 ways about it. Also bribery is a sin which we all know as its clearly written in the Bible and other forms of religious books. There are sooo many unsung heroes that needs to be awarded. It seems bribery and corruption has been engraved and embedded in our DNA that it was a shock tothe police chief - - -Bonboclots thieving bastards....

Is the officer aware of the CRACK dealer at Nsukwao who claims to have all the cops in his pockoet?Or is his offer far too mouth-watering to admit or reject in public?

Awutu Bawjiase police rejected an offer of GC3,000.00 from a wee peddler. So when is IGP going to offer them their reward too?

this story would have been nicer if the reporter or the Igp had told us how much a police officer earns monthly. may be 300 Ghana cedis.
