Dr. Joseph Yammin, the National Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called for the immediate dismissal of ACP/Mr. Stephen K. Kwakye, the Deputy Ashanti Regional Police Commander, accused him of engaging in partisan activities during the election.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Kojo Marfo on AbusuaNkommo at Abusua 96.5 FM, Yammin alleged that the police commander played a direct role in influencing officers to support the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“The Deputy Police Commander, an NPP member, was the one sharing NPP money at the police station,” he claimed.
According to Yammin, ACP Kwakye was entrusted with distributing funds on behalf of the regional minister to sway police officers’ votes in favor of the NPP’s presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“He was the one the regional minister gave money to share among police officers so they would vote for Dr. Bawumia.”
Expressing his frustration, the NDC organizer questioned why ACP Kwakye remains in his position despite what he described as clear misconduct.
“Why is he still at his post? He should have been sacked by now and sent home. When his family asks him why he was sacked, he will tell them on Election Day, I was sharing NPP’s money even though I wasn’t supposed to do that. But he’s still at his post,” he fumed.
Yammin further accused the police officer of undermining morale within the force by allegedly targeting NDC-affiliated officers for victimization.
“He was demoralizing the police force by tagging some NDC members and threatening to transfer them, but today those he demoralized still see him in the office. We are joking; we should be hitting people and telling them what they did was wrong,” he stated.
