The Ghana Police Command has ordered the suspension of checks on all drivers’ licences and other related motor-checks on the country’s roads "with immediate effect", a memo by the service indicates.
However the memo, which was signed by the Commission of Police Ransford Moses Ninson ,orders personnel on highway patrol to limit their work to inspection of cars for drugs and ammunition only.
DCOP Ninson said officers of the Motor Traffic and Transport Division of the Police Service, must be deployed only for traffic management duties.
The memo further charges all Regional, Divisional, District and Unit commanders to ensure that no permits are issued for motor check duties.
No reason was given in the memo for the new directive.
