  • Anonymous - service 7 years ago

    The IGP as matter of urgency should not hesitate to transfer this wicked man Cephas Arthur since he is loyalist of the unscrupulous NDC party .

    If it is not political then what is it?? Yoo, we hear you. Every one sings to his Master's Voice

  • 4 Year Old 7 years ago

    The man is too tough for Kumasi gangs and as a result, they have lobbied, and spoken ill of the guy to Otumfuo to effect transfer. Look, the guy is masterful and all the stealing zongo and ashanti boys, cocaine riddled areas ...

  • Retired special branch officer. 7 years ago

    You are ignorant about Police procedure in effecting transfers of their members. Without Kofi Boakye in Kumasi, Kumasi would move forward. Otumfour has no hands in Commissioner Kofi Boakye's transfer. I was expecting him to ...

    You mean Atinga is using her football age?

  • 4 year old 7 years ago

    If police transfers were normal why is Atinga Bio, among others, still in the service? Police transfers are grossly tainted with political interference and who you know!

  • Pumpuni 7 years ago

    Why mention COP Kofi Boakye in particular? Even if your answer was in response to a question, you should have used wisdom in responding.

  • CORNEY 7 years ago

    My friend,he responded to a question so no matter how he puts it the journalist who mentioned Kofi Boakye will still use that name,don't forget you and I were not there,courtesy Bawumia.

    Kofi Boakye's removal was simply p ...

    Being political is one thing but being vindictive is another. Rose Abio was seen as an ndc woman but was moved to the research department. Was that meant as a punishment. Some say variety is the spice of life. Being transfer ...

  • Fookuo 7 years ago

    For a long time, the NPP have been saying that Kofi Boakye is an NDC man. This is based purely on the fact that he was once asked to accompany President Rawlings to Libya as part of the president's security. Otherwise, Boakye ...

    Personal interest riding over national interest. The bane of our woes as Ghanaians.

  • Yoo 7 years ago

    COP Mr Kofi Boakye should be able to adjust. He is a professional police officer, and therefore should not allow some useless journalists to draw rings sound him. That is my piece of advise here.

    Derek was doing wonders in the Vokta region. For example completing the Hq which has not seen any paint for over 30 years.why transfer such a person?

    “The transfers were not because there had been a change of government. When John Kudalor came, he transferred some officers. "When Mohammed Alhassan took over from Paul Quaye he also transferred some officers to different l ...

    my guy you are simply out of your mind.he curbed crime in kumasi drastically,aided in the development of most of the kumasi police stations.and you are here saying nonsense.

  • TUTUGYAGU 7 years ago

    Residents in Kumasi love and respected Kofi Boakye. At least the city enjoyed some peace during his commandership as pickpockets and armed robbers kept a low profile. Now what I hear is that armed robbers popped champagne yes ...

    COP Kofi Boakye is an academic and an astute lawyer so if he is to head the research unit, then i think this would be of immense benefits to the operations of the Ghana Police Service unless you are telling us that a regional ...

    Some people like Mama Tula are very stupid. Before Kofi Boakye came to the scene, somebody was in charge in Ashanti. If he dies today, will Ghana Police die? So why can't he be transferred? Is he God?
