Security Analyst, Emmanuel Sowatey is calling for counseling for the 105 police personnel who were recently sacked for alleged gross misconduct.
According to him, counseling will help them to get properly integrated into civilian society.
The affected officers were implicated in acts of corruption and other offences, including robbery.
“There are many reasons. They were fired by the Police Administration for acts of indiscipline under police disciplinary code of conduct, extortion, bad treatment to members of the public and etc” the Public Relations Officer, (PRO) of the Ghana Police Service, Supt. Cephas Arthur has said.
He said about 105 personnel were expelled from the Police Service, including various ranks, indicating that those at the lower ranks were the worst culprits affected by the disciplinary actions.
Superintendent Cephas Arthur said the development underlines the enforcement of the Police zero tolerance for corruption and related malpractices, as well as indiscipline in the force as it continues to professionalize the Police force.
But, Mr Sowatey believes without counseling, some of them are likely to engage in anti-social activities such as armed robbery out of frustration and therefore needs to be counseled immediately.
