The Director-General of Police in charge of Research and Planning, COP Nathan Kofi Boakye, has called for strict enforcement of road traffic regulations in the country to reduce the high level of indiscipline on roads.
He said such petty crimes pose a long-term threat to national security and must be curbed.
COP Boakye who was speaking on “security threats and challenges, mitigating measures” at a meeting of the Association of Women Accountants of Ghana in Tamale described those who violate the road traffic regulations as ‘mad, sick or criminals’.
“We have to start enforcing all laws. How come people jump red lights and just pass through. People who jump red lights are either mad or either sick or either a criminal who is running away from crime. We must find a way of dealing with such people. If we cannot fight the small crimes, then we cannot fight the big crimes. That’s the policy”, he said.
The general public is also encouraged to take videos and photos of persons who engage in these offences and send them to the official station’s WhatsApp contact – 0549986996 for onward forwarding to the appropriate quarters.

Non*sense where did you leave your brains in your mother's womb? when wisdom talks idi*ots in the ndc don't understand and make fun of it until it catches up with them and then they start to cry ! Those women who brought forth idi*ots to Ghana to disturb our minds are enemies of this nation! Blessed are the wombs that brought forth American citizens who even a 5th grader can think bigger than a Ghanaian university graduate and even some PhD holders! gyimie,gyimie is not funny !Kofi Boakye our next IGP !
You have a point but the security of the president is very paramount that is why the police in all cases are around to stop other vehicles for the president. I believe Kofi Boakye said this in a context and I agree with him. Just come to Tema and see how these so called OKADA boys flout the traffic rules with impunity whiles the police watch on.
so the presido and them ministers all be mad and criminals, agyeuuuuuiiiii
