Four other junior officers whose promotions were withheld due to pending cases against them have also been reinstated to the ranks to which they are entitled, making up the total number of promoted officers.

Speaking in an interview on Accra-based Peace FM, the IGP, in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com, the IGP said that promotions should not influence Police votes towards a certain direction.
