The acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), COP John Kudalor has promised to be ‘politically neutral’ in next year’s elections and ensure the best of policing during the elections which has been tagged as very crucial to the country’s democracy.
“We are going to be very professional, politically, I am going to be very neutral to ensure that the people of this country get the best of security services…,” he assured in an interview with Adomonline.com.
The former Director of Operations of the Police was appointed acting IGP to succeed Mr. Muhammed Alhassan whose time elapsed sometime this year.
His appointment, pro-opposition pressure group, Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA) said was a form of ‘reward’ for supervising the group’s brutalities during a demonstration to demand a new voters’ register.
Convener of the group, David Asante therefore challenged him to prove that he does not support violence against civilians through his conduct as acting IGP.
COP in a form of reaction to this challenge, assured that he would be up and doing and would be very professional in the discharge of his duties as the acting IGP of Ghana’s police service.
“…we won’t let you down…we have no reason to fail this country…and we would be very professional…to ensure that in spite of the turmoil in the sub-region, Ghana would still be a beacon of peace…,” he said.
The acting IGP further tasked the civilian population to also be ambassadors of peace as according to him ensuring peace is a two-way traffic.
“We are appealing to the general public to also abide by the rules governing elections so that Ghana can still be a beacon of hope in Africa…,” he appealed.
COP Kudelor who recounted that he was very athletic during his days in Aggrey Memorial Senior High School said he was going to operate an open door policy as IGP and welcomed the public to get close to the service.
