  Am sorry, but what a waste of time...GH police is already Fck up...Gov't need to take better care of them. Use the old UK system(where police have special previlages). Free proper housing, Free education to their children..better pension. Any police man will think 100x before making bad decision...

  Jeff,

  And, as Kwabena Fosu-Mensah says, transparency is important. Timely and proper reporting of who gives, how much, for what reason, are important consideration, thus the suggested "Sponsorship Foundation Board".
  
  Though the police may be "perceived as the most corrupt public institution in Ghana," a Board of that nature probably ought to be a civil service-wide initiative. That will allow comparisons between agencies, and most likely, provide efficiency in scale.
  
  On the other hand, we could easily see this, given CHRAJ's charter and goals, as a normal CHRAJ objective, if only the CHRAJ leadership, current and past, were seriously attentive to their Constitutional mandates.
  
  In the normal scheme of things, efficient service implies less police (and civil service) manpower requirements. Those could be savings for continued improvements in service conditions for civil servants who "perform".
