The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, James Agalga, is questioning the rationale behind the position accompanying the newly appointed Deputy Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
President Akufo-Addo appointed Commissioner of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, as the new Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations.
However, Mr Agalga believes the specific position of ‘Operations’ lacks context and clarity.
Jubilee House states that the appointment follows the advice of the Police Council during its meeting today, where COP Yohuno’s exceptional credentials and dedication to duty were acknowledged.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Newsnite, the Builsa North MP expressed concern over what he says appears to be a move to create another office for ‘administration.’
Mr Agalga was emphatic that the wording could have been straightforward if the intent was to subsequently announce a second officer in a similar position.
Security expert, Adam Bonaa speaking on the same show agreed with the MP’s position.
Both guests, however, congratulated the new Deputy IGP and acknowledged his contribution to the service so far.
