How come the head of resources wasn't aware of the new system which led to his indictment. Are government officials not involved in this. especially recruitment of party people. Are the signatures his. Will a senior police man make such a mistake which can be so easily traced back to him. What exactly is the case against the man.
Is he being made to keep quiet
Publish the recruitment process to make us all aware of the correct procedure

Which part of the story have you be following all this time,how can government officials be involved recruiting party people when there was no recruitment,or you don't understand what is going on that there was no recruitment but the people were scammed by some individuals who took various sums of money from them giving them fake letters to report at various training centers without the police themselves knowing what was going on?

These are some of the words flying in the media which seek to describe the current state of affairs in the NDC governance. After taking over reins of govt after the demise of Fiifi Mills, our dear president shifted the ethnic balance of power towards the NDC sycophants in the north.
Now lets do a little mathematics here. Diving Ghana into political camps and them diving your party into ethnic camps and seeking sycophants in the small group leavs you with little more than people who can read and write. No offence meant here. This is an analogy. Kuffuor reached acros party lines to make use of expertise. Kwame Nkrumah had a good mix of all ethnic groups in his camp and every govt since has made an effort to adhere to strict protocol in order to quell misgivings along ethnic lines. Dr Limann i believe was better received by the populace than the current prez who seems to speak every Ghanaian language and simply should have done a better job at uniting his continually divergent populace. Failure to heed advice leads ato a nasty fall.

When DCOP talked about d problems of police recruitment being corrupted by politicians, he was maligned and insulted on this forum. If politicians are benefiting from d process why won't d officers who are superintendent on d process? There is d need for total overhaul of d system otherwise the security system in d country will collapse. D corrupt recruitment is prevalent in the military and worse in places lyk fire and prison service

They are all not free because of PROPAGANDA being thought everywhere by Omaneboamal&Co. They have bastardized and criminalized all institutions. There are apparent contradictions all over the place. Is it the case of the usual cronyism and nepotism and corruption? Is it the case that they wanted to blindside and it has backfired?

Why would young men and women pay such huge amount just to join the Police Service.Because we don't plan,because we don't have a human centered policies in Ghana,it has become,only, the fittest survive.It is a pity that all our politicians think about is how they can fill their own pockets,at the expense of the whole Country.This can only happen in an African Country,where a job seeker must pay such a huge bribe before they can get a job.And the worse of it all is,even if the culprits are apprehended they will go scot free,just because they happen to be members or sympathizers of the ruling party.Ghana is rotten.

His signature may have been forged but saying it was your new system that has exposed this fraudulent act is absolutely not true.
The people successfully duped the innocent people who paid various amonunts of money which nobody knew up until the people reported to begin training before you realized something was going on.
How come you didn't exposed the fraud or arrest the people before these innocent people traveled all the way from their hometowns to begin training before you got hint of what was going if it was your so called new system that exposed it?

Mr Patrick Timbilla is an Honest Man and I believe he won't lower himself for this kind of money. I believe He is innocent. The Ghana Police should rather arrest those people who payed the bribes .

Could someone clarify this House Arrest mania, DCOP Ampah-Benin in his own words to Joys News indicated that COP Timbilla has been interdicted and placed under House Arrest. The same individual is telling the public on TV3 News that the COP has been interdicted so as not to interfere with ongoing investigations and that he is not under House Arrest. Which is Which? Ghanaians are very discerning, if they goofed initially they should just say the truth and stop putting dust in people's eyes.

To say the truth, why can't the police and other sister security agencies advertise the recruitment and enlistment just like the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF). They always do their recruitment underground, why won't all this happen. Just an avenue for Job for the boys. It's really pathetic. GAF's system though has some loopholes due to the fact that it's humans who compile the list and the big men will definitely bring theirs. At least it's OK, for now.

I find it difficult to understand the Police's statements on COP Timbilla's complicity. It such a cock and bull story which exposes it's very lie. How can a Head of Human Resources be so stupid to be caught by a so called new recruitment process. How stupid can the COP be in this instance? This set up will surely be exposed as ploy to damage the COP.
