A policeman was found sleeping on duty at the Garu constituency polling station in the Upper East Region during the ongoing election. This incident raises concerns about the level of security and vigilance at polling stations across the country.
According to reports, the policeman’s actions were unacceptable, especially given the critical role security personnel play in ensuring the integrity of the electoral process. The incident has sparked questions about the preparedness of security personnel and the measures in place to prevent such incidents.
As the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, emphasized earlier, only state security personnel are authorized to maintain security during the elections. The IGP assured the public of the police service’s readiness to ensure a peaceful and orderly voting process.
However, the policeman found sleeping at the Garu constituency polling station in the Upper East Region during the ongoing election highlights the need for increased vigilance and accountability among security personnel. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring that all security personnel are alert and focused on their duties during the electoral process.
