THE
ONE CEDI POLICING IN GHANA
Richard

Corruption
is a mocker
Corruption
is rude
Corruption
steals, kills and destroys
Corruption
usually uses established state institutions such as the Police Service to
execute its vicious devices
Corruption
usually uses money to achieve its goals
It
uses money to weaken the strength of an established system
Corruption
uses money to silence some eminent officials such as the police
It
uses money to reduce the value of some police officers to bread
Corruption
uses money to make some police officers forget their vital role
The
primary role of the Ghana Police Service is to protect life and property
The
service is for instance mandated to enforce road traffic regulations
Enforcing
road traffic regulations secure life and property of the populace
Corruption
is, however, silently making nonsense of this vital role
Corruption
is using money to buy the loyalty and integrity of some police officers
Some
police officers on the highways have giving in to corrupt tendencies
The
value of some police officers patrolling the roads has been reduced to
just
One Ghana Cedi
Road
traffic offenders have learnt this language of corruption
Road
traffic offenders know that once they are able to give One Ghana Cedi
to some police officers on the road their
offences would be ignored
Life
and property are being sacrificed for just One Ghana Cedi!
