IGP commissioning the elevator

The Ghana Police Service, yesterday, commissioned a new elevator at the headquarters of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and it has set social media agog.

The elevator facility, according to the Police, will serve the 6-storey CID building which hitherto had only stairs.

In a series of tweets by the Ghana Police Service account, the acting Inspector General of Police, COP Oppong-Boanuh was seen commissioning the project with support from the CID boss, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo Danquah.

However, some Ghanaians on social media found this commissioning bizarre as they reasoned that such a normal project didn't require such fanfare.

Some of the users also mocked the CID boss and the IGP for not putting in enough effort in finding the missing Takoradi girls and combating the ever-increasing crime rate in the country.

Below are some of the tweets of Ghanaians on the elevator commissioning.

She won't go and find the #TakoradiGirls after 1 year, you're here singing her praise for an elevator that was built/sponsored by another gov't agency abi? You people let's keep joking in this country like that erh😠😠😠 @thenanaaba @Citi973 @Joy997FM #CitiCBS #JoySMS

This is a joke. What do you take us for. An elevator has been constructed and so what? You have time for trivialities but can't have time for serious business. This country is a mess. Commissioning toilets, lotto kiosk, gutters and now elevator. Shameless institution.
