Stop Sacking IGPs, CDSs After Change In Gov’ts – Nunoo-Mensah

Former Chief of Defense Staff, Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah, has described the appointment of new people to head key security institutions like the police service and the military after every change in government as wrong.

Brigadier Nunoo-Mensah served as Chief of Defence Staff under the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council government in 1979, but was relieved of his post.

Following the revolution, however, he was appointed to serve under the PNDC regime, led by Jerry John Rawlings, a position he left after some differences with the then Head of State.

According to Brigadier Nunoo-Mensah, who was speaking at the third event in the Accra Dialogue series at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration Law Faculty on Wednesday, it should be possible for the heads of these crucial institutions to serve across different administrations in spite of whichever political party is in power, as he had done.
