Eighty-two police officers have sued the Ghana Police Service, the Attorney General, and the Inspector General of Police for failing to promote them after completing their studies.
Prior to a notice released by the Office of the Registrar, these police officers claimed that they were due for promotions after completing their studies, however, they are yet to be promoted after several months of completing their studies.
These police officers bemoaned that the IGP, Attorney General, and the Ghana Police Service have failed to recognize the fact that they are qualified to serve in some positions after completing their studies, making them more than qualified for promotions.
According to the notice, “All the Plaintiffs applied for the 2017/2018 Academic Year Study Leave with pay programme for Tertiary Courses ranging between two to four years.”
Hence, “Each and every Plaintiff having qualified, were selected and made to enter into the requisite Bond to serve the Police Service upon completion of their various courses for at least 5 years upon condition that the Bond would be entreated when breached.”
These eighty-two soldiers have therefore indicated that they are qualified for promotions and must be given one as such.
