IGP, Bio Atinga under flak …over promotions in police Six police personnel ranking from Assistant
Superintendent of Police (ASP) to Chief
Superintendent of Police have complained about
what they describe as anomalies in the recent
promotions made in the service.
They are therefore asking the President to prevail
on Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Alhassan,
and Madam Rose Bio Tinga, Director General of
Administration to review the whole process.
A petition signed by the disgruntled personnel to
the President, said the promotions had affected
analogous senior officer ranks of the Police, who
were fully and duly qualified since 2013 “and
this is affecting morale”.
It said: “The painful aspect of the delay in
promotion is the fact that the effective dates for
the recently released promotions were not
back-dated”.
“We the deprived officers who have been denied
our promotions are very surprised at the reasons
assigned by the police administration’s failure
to promote us. The police administration said
there are no vacancies to promote officers to
their next ranks.”
The petition said the affected members find it
difficult to accept an explanation by the police
administration that attending the Command and
Staff College is not a pre-requisite for
promotion.
“Why were the ASPs who have qualified for
promotion since 2013 not even been considered
during the recent promotions?” The petitioners
asked.
The members appealed to the President “to
intercede and release our promotions especially
those of us on the ranks of Assistant
Superintendent of Police to Chief Superintendent
of Police”. Source - New Crusading Guide
