Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, made a statement about a potential increase in police numbers. He questioned the logic of having a very large police force.

Mr. Asiedu Nketia asked where thieves would be found if all 500,000 people in the country became police officers. This comment was made recently. His remark sparked public conversation.

The statement was described as both humorous and reflective. It highlighted a thought-provoking aspect of public safety planning. The exact context for the figure of 500,000 police officers was not specified.
