Ashanti Regional Commander of the Ghana Police Service has warned his men against mounting all road traffic checks relating to drivers licenses and other vehicle documentation.
According to DCOP Ken Yeboah, the police are to focus on helping direct traffic and also continue their routine checks for drugs, arms and other crimes coordinated on the road.
DCOP Ken Yeboa was speaking to host of Abusua Nkommo, Kwame Adinkrah during his public engagement on Abusua FM.
The police administration has come under intense pubic backlash as they have been accused of issue of using the vehicle documentation inspection to exploit and extort money from motorists.
DCOP Yeboah said, “we want to focus our attention on traffic in order to create a more congenial atmosphere for commuters in our cities and towns.”
He added, “therefore personnel on highway patrol are to limit their operations to inspection of cars for drugs and ammunitions only.”

EXPLOIT AND EXTORT. THAT IS WHAT THEY DO. NOTHING TO BENEFIT THE PEOPLE OR THE COUNTRY.
The annoying part is if u show them a photocopy of ur license they wont accept and if u give them the original then they start to say uve offended in so many ways so u either settle them or they keep the license for u to come for it at the station. This is a good statement issued by the DCOP all ashanti region pray for is for u to work perfectly just like Kofi Boakye, good job commander
This is very good statements from the command. Some policemen even chase cars because of insurance and license. Even if your license is in the house, they will try all means to take money from you. Am speaking from experience when they even delayed me from my Sunday service because I left my licensed home. They took mobile money from me before allowing me after waisting hours with. There is a lot going on, so this will create confidence in the police.
