Almost 40 police officers have asked the Deputy Attorney-General for help. This is because the Ghana Police Service wants them to take promotion exams.
The officers believe this new exam requirement contradicts a previous decision by the Court of Appeal.
The Court of Appeal had ordered that these officers should be promoted.
Their lawyers have explained the situation in a petition to the Deputy Attorney-General.
The lawyers stated that a memo from the Police Service directed them to sit a competitive examination.
The officers feel this instruction bypasses the court's earlier judgment.
They are seeking the Deputy Attorney-General's intervention to uphold the court's ruling.
This situation highlights a disagreement between official court orders and police service directives.
