The President urged the new IGP to take decisive action against all forms of misconduct, including bribery and abuse of power, ensuring that officers uphold the highest standards of integrity in their duties.

“It is crucial that all forms of unethical behavior, from bribery to the abuse of power, are decisively dealt with,” he added.

President Mahama further stressed the importance of a transparent and accountable police service that prioritizes the interests of the public.

He reiterated the government’s commitment to strengthening law enforcement institutions and restoring public confidence in the police force.
