The Ghana Police Service has taken decisive action by interdicting and detaining Police Chief Inspector Benjamin Doe Kuwornu, who is stationed in the Central Region, following the emergence of a video showing his misconduct. This step has been deemed necessary in order to facilitate a thorough investigation into Kuwornu’s conduct, in accordance with police service regulations.
In a released statement, the Police Service reiterated its commitment to upholding professionalism in the execution of its duties, assuring the public of its unwavering dedication to this cause.
The video in question, which has been reviewed by GhanaWeb, depicts Kuwornu engaging in a tirade that spans over four minutes, during which he openly criticizes the president for his management of the economy and governance issues. Kuwornu goes as far as accusing the president of nepotism and cronyism, and even calls upon members of the security cluster to vocalize their concerns regarding the pressing issues confronting the nation.
It is important to note that throughout his impassioned address, Kuwornu explicitly states that he is not advocating for any form of coup. He identifies himself as a police officer who simply wishes to express his disillusionment with the current state of affairs to the president and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The gravity of this situation cannot be understated, as it raises significant concerns about the conduct and professionalism expected of law enforcement officers. The actions of individuals in positions of authority have a direct impact on public trust and confidence in the institutions that are meant to uphold law and order.
It is imperative that the investigation into Kuwornu’s conduct be conducted thoroughly and expeditiously, so as to provide clarity and uphold the principles of accountability within the Ghana Police Service. The outcome of this investigation will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the reputation and integrity of the police force.
As we await further developments in this matter, it is crucial for all members of law enforcement to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in discharging their duties. The public’s trust in the police service hinges on the demonstrated commitment to these principles, and any deviation from them must be met with swift and decisive action.
We will continue to monitor this situation closely and provide updates as new information becomes available.
