Chief Inspector Angel Lolo, the representative of junior ranks on the Ghana Police Service Council, has completed a nationwide tour aimed at engaging junior officers across the country on issues of welfare and professional development.
The initiative, described by many regional commanders as the first of its kind, focused on identifying the key challenges facing junior officers and exploring ways to improve their career growth and working conditions.
The tour covered all Police regions and formed part of efforts to strengthen communication between the leadership and frontline personnel.
It provided an opportunity for officers to openly share their concerns, suggestions, and expectations with their representative on the Council.
Chief Inspector Lolo’s visit was seen as an important step in promoting inclusiveness and participatory decision-making within the Service.
It aligns with the leadership approach of the Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, who has emphasized the need for greater collaboration and accountability within the ranks.
Information gathered from the tour will be used to develop strategic recommendations aimed at improving welfare structures and career development opportunities for junior officers.
The nationwide engagement ended in Accra, where Chief Inspector Lolo met with junior officers at the Police Headquarters.
He encouraged them to remain dedicated to duty while assuring them that their concerns would be presented to the Police Council for consideration.
The Police Administration commended Chief Inspector Angel Lolo for his dedication and contribution to enhancing the welfare and morale of personnel within the Ghana Police Service.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken note of public allegations of extortion and related conduct made against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The allegations were made by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi.
In a brief statement, the OSP said it has also received a joint petition submitted by two persons, as well as two separate petitions from other persons, in relation to the same allegations.
“Given the nature of the allegations, the OSP will assess the case and determine whether it falls within its statutory mandate and whether further investigative action is warranted,” the statement said.
The development comes amid a heated public feud between the Minority in Parliament and the leadership of GoldBod over the operations of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.
The Minority, led by Afenyo-Markin, has accused GoldBod and the Bank of Ghana of causing a loss of over $1.7 billion, citing the International Monetary Fund’s August 2026 report. The Minority has vowed to pursue the matter as Parliament has reconvened for an emergency sitting.
GoldBod, on the other hand, has rejected claims by some NPP MPs, including Tano South MP Dr Gideon Boako, that it owes the Bank of Ghana GH¢1 billion in overdrafts, describing the claim as “false and malicious.”
In the latest twist, GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi has accused the Minority Leader of extortion and related conduct, an allegation that has triggered petitions to the OSP.
The OSP is mandated under Act 959 to investigate and prosecute specific cases of alleged or suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving public officers and politically exposed persons.

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has filed his nomination to contest the position of General Secretary again as the party begins its rebuilding efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He was accompanied by party stalwarts and supporters who were in high spirits, expressing confidence that he is the right person to hold the position.
Speaking after filing his nomination, Mr Kodua Frimpong assured the rank and file of the party that he would not disappoint them.
“I can assure you that the faith the rank and file of the party have had in me, I will never disappoint them,” he said.
He also pledged to run a clean campaign devoid of personal attacks.
“I can assure you that our internal campaign will be devoid of personal attacks,” he told his fellow contestants and the rank and file of the party as he seeks to retain his position.
His tenure has seen the party through the 2024 general elections, where the NPP lost power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after eight years in government.
The party is currently in a rebuilding phase, with internal elections scheduled to elect new national executives to lead its reorganization towards the 2028 polls.
The General Secretary position is considered one of the most influential in the party’s administrative structure, responsible for the day-to-day running of the party secretariat and implementation of party decisions.
