Sekondi-Takoradi MCE, the kind of people making the job difficult. There are several of them out there making my man showboy unpopular. Your actions, decisions should reflect the man who appointed you to represent him in your locality.

The behaviour of the Sekondi Takoradi MCE is a direct reflection of Akufo-Addo attitude.

Respect the police officer. They put their lives on the line for you to live. Who are you? Wony3 obiaaaa Sekondi-Takoradi MCE. This is not what Akufo-Addo stands for.

Leadership is servitude. Humility is a key attribute of great leaders. When people are given positions as a result of affiliation, we see the kind of arrogance displayed by the Sekondi-Takoradi MCE. I am glad the inspector remained resolute in performance of his duty! #JoySMS
