Asantehene Advises IGP

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has asked the Inspector General of Police, John Kualor, to guard himself against all external political influence.

The Asantehene also admonished the Police Service to work for the country, putting the needs of the country first above any political party. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said this when he welcomed the IGP on his first visit to the Ashanti Region six months after his appointment. 

He questioned the friction between parties and the tension that rises  during election years, and expressed disappointment in inappropriate behaviors and language used during the period.

He asked the IGP to ensure that the Police across the nation enforce law and order, before, during and after the elections. The overlord of Asnteman also asked Ghanaians to help the police in their work  in the region, by reporting suspicious people and giving them reliable information.

IGP Kudalor is on a two-day working visit to the Ashanti region to plan with the Regional command to ensure peaceful elections come November 7. He will also take time to inaugurate the Asaam District Police Command built solely by Mr. Yaw one Marfo of “Yesu Dea” transport fame.
