The Inspector-General of Police James Oppong-Buanuh has assured that Police officers who misconduct themselves before, during, and after the December 7 Presidential and Parliamentary elections will be sanctioned by the Police administration.

The Inspector-General of Police James Oppong-Buanuh also reiterated the commitment of the Ghana Police Service to discharge its duties without fear or favor.
“I can assure the good people of Ghana that we shall perform our duties professionally without any bias towards the left, right, or center. We shall be impartial in the discharge of our duties. We shall discharge our constitutional mandate duties without fear or favor before, during, and after the elections.” IGP assured.
According to the IGP, Political Violence has not helped any country neither has it solved any grievance or addressed any difference in opinion therefore Ghanaians should not engage in violence to jeopardize the peace enjoyed over the years.
He advised the youth “not to engage in violence to achieve anybody’s goal.
He also admonished politicians to “use the appropriate and legally sanctioned channels to address our grievances and differences rather than engaging in the use of violence”
The IGP James Oppong- Buanuh said this on Saturday at Kwahu Nkwatia during a ceremony to commission a 14 single rooms self-contained apartment constructed by KABAKA Foundation set up by Richard Owiredu Wadie a contractor and a Philanthropist.
The Philanthropist, Richard Owiredu Wadie who is Chairman of the KABAKA Foundation said he is a native of Nkwatia, therefore, built the facility to give back to his community. He said peace and security are important to economic development therefore worth it to provide accommodation to Police officers scattered in rented rooms in the community due to lack of Barracks.
Richard Owiredu Wadie has turned 40 years this year as a result of giving back to society. He recently paid Ghc12,000 medical bills for 20 detained mothers at the Eastern Regional Hospital and donated a truckload of medical equipment, detergents, baby diapers, toiletries among others to the hospital.
