POLICE INDEBTEDNESS FORCES IGP TO
DEDUCT 2 CEDIS FROM POLICE OFFICERS EVERY MONTH
The IGP of police says lack of funds
from government is forcing the service to deduct GHC 2 cedis every month from
police officers salaries to settle their debts.
According
to Mr. Kudalor, the service has been forced to take this action due to
government reneging on its duty of providing the service with resources.
John
Kudalor was at the Public Accounts committee to answer some infractions in the 2011
Auditor General’s report.
IGP
also raised safety concerns among road users, with the revelation that the
country has only two police towing vehicles.
These
vehicles according to the Inspector General of Police have been dispatched to
the Accra-Kumasi highway to help tow broken down vehicles on that stretch.
This
has led to the police relying on some private towing companies including zoom
lion to help remove the vehicles which cause a large chunk of the fatalities
recorded on the roads.
But
deputy Interior Minister, James Agalga says government is working around the
clock to get the police administration with towing cars.
