Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, chairman of the National Democratic Congress, has commented on the high interest in joining the Ghana Police Service. He stated that hundreds of thousands of young people are eager to become police officers.
Mr. Asiedu Nketiah questioned the necessity of such a large recruitment drive during a public event. He highlighted the potential issue of having too many police officers for the current crime rate.
He asked where the numerous police recruits would find criminals to arrest given their vast numbers. This statement points to a concern about the future workload and relevance of such a large police force.
