Emmanuel Mawanye Kotin, who is also the Executive Director of African Center for Security and Counterterrorism, has accused some junior police officers of not respecting their seniors.

He says they do not take orders from any of their line commanders.

He said the situation has dampened the spirit of many senior officers, leading to disillusionment among the top hierarchy.

Mr Kotin made this known on TV3 on Tuesday, April 25 while speaking about the alleged shooting of a lady, 26, in Adum, Kumasi by an Inspector with a service rifle.

The security analyst claimed that the junior officers he described as ‘Dampare Boys’ are quickly promoted as against the very regimen of the Service.

He disclosed that most of the ‘Dampare Boys’ have been promoted as Inspectors.

He said the situation should be questioned “whether under the law the IGP has the right to create such a body”.

According to Mr Kotin, senior officers who are against this group of officers have been cowed into silence as “they are afraid to talk”.

He called on Parliament to summon the IGP to answer questions on this breed of officers he is keeping in the Service.
