Audrey Micah
The Public Affairs Director of the Ghana Police Service, DSP
Kwesi Ofori has warned electorates especially the so called
‘macho’ men who try who to invade police stations by using
undue force and tried to invite a lot of pain on decent
people will be dealt with, should they try to that during
voting on December 28.
“For those people who have been disturbing the peace of
decent Ghanaians, we have decided to marshal up our
resources and equipments in and around all police stations
come December 28 and that any one who dares to come in there
and repeat the incidence like what happened at Akwatia will
not be spared at all.
“We will make sure that we use reasonable force, which
proportional, legitimate and in line with our rules of
engagement to deal with you”.
He said it the duty of the police to protect the interest of
the general public, thus should any try to disfranchise
anybody, the police will act actively and for that matter
fast to stop such crime.
According to him, there is a Ballot Security Sub-committee
under the National Election Security Task Force who is
currently mapping up strategies as to how best to protect
the ballot boxes and the voting pattern.
DSP Ofori said it the as well the duty of the security
officer who will be at post to inform the electoral officer
who is in charge of any wrong doing of a voter and if
possible arrest the person. He added that that after
negotiations with the Electoral Commission (EC) it is now
settled that at any polling station; there would be at least
four police officers at post during the run-off.
He said though they have received rumors that some people
are planning to cause problems come 28, the security
agencies of the country are more prepared than ever to
protect the voter and the whole nation.
“We will be there, we will be observing everything very
closely to make sure that some these activities that are
been rumored around never occurs come 28. We will be out
there and our main aim is to protect the voter and make sure
that the voter goes through the proper procedure, make sure
that the ballot box is safe, make sure also that the
electoral officer enjoys good security to enable him or her
work efficiently”.
DSP Kwesi Ofori appealed to the electorates not to wait
after elections, but rather immediately report to any
officer should there be any mishaps for that matter to be
taken up. He reiterated that it is not the duty of the
security officer to either check identity card or intimidate
any one but rather to protect the interest of the people.
