DCOP Patrick Adusei Sarpong said this by presenting his testimony to the commission
Greater Accra Area Commander DCOP Patrick Adusei Sarpong explained the reason for "mistrust" of the police service of the opposition political parties in the country.
According to him, politicians exert a certain influence on the police when they are in power and thus fear, when they leave office, that the same objects for which they used them under their government are repeated by their competitors. .
"When they are in government, they have some influence over the police and when they are out of government, they do not have it, they are scared and fear that the powers that they used to win power and have been used against them. "
"They are afraid of their own shadows," he added.
DCOP Adusei Sarpong explained that often the ruling parties use the services of these groups to defend their parish interests. Thus, when they lose power, they lose confidence in the service and, to a certain extent, explain the formation of vigilante groups in the country.
"Politicians have repeatedly said that they formed these groups to protect them, whether it's genuine or not, it's for them, it's them who are the politicians and they formed the groups but in the end of the day, everyone condemns that this is not a healthy situation.
Sharing his views on restoring trust in the police, he said "Politicians should be politicians and allow security guards to ensure security and, over time, trust will be restored." "
