Ghana Police Service will for the first time use drones to monitor political activities beginning with the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) manifesto launch at the Sunyani Coronation Park in the Brong Ahafo Region today.
This is as part of its new strategy to engage in an effective and efficient political activity monitoring to quell electoral violence in the coming general elections.
As preparation at the venue reached its peak stage Friday evening some police personnel were busily seen testing the drone which will be used for monitoring. Although Joy News interviewed the new Brong Ahafo Police Public Affairs Director, Sergeant Samson Gbende, he never gave further details but only confirmed that the drones will be used for today's program.
It would be recalled that Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCO) in Agust this year donated state of the art drones to support the Ghana Police Service in its operations. The drone, worth between $10,000 - $20,000, is expected to improve police monitoring operations from the sky. Drones have currently been adopted by security agencies, research and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring, firefighting and other purposes.

This is abuse of incumbency. Why did the police use drones for the recent PPP activities or the other parties rallies.
We all know John Mahama is also suffering from kidney disease...one of his wife's own has been given to him in south Africa
I hope the police service will use this system for all activities of all political parties that will require plenty people like that of NDC in Sunyani
TO WHOM IT IS CONCERNED. We have observed that our dear Jonathan Lagos has been a thorn in your party`s flesh. And you have personally taken it upon yourself to replicate him on this platform. I tell you, you need to do better than what you are doing now, because there is no way you will match him up. No way. Jonathan`s position is well noted here. A zealot leftist to the core and an erudite proponent of the socialist ideologies. I have not regretted being with him in Helsinki for four years, and for your information....He is coming down this elections, and he will be honored by the NEC. So stop wasting your time, unless you are getting paid for it. USELESSSSSSSS ODG. Put the D first and get my drift.
