Executive Summary
The Ghana Police Service has escalated its dispute with 40 Chief Inspectors over denied promotions to the Supreme Court, challenging a Court of Appeal ruling that favored the officers. The Police Service argues that the Court of Appeal wrongly directed the Police Council, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Police Appointments and Promotions Advisory Board to promote the officers under an expired Amnesty Programme. The Service maintains that promotions for senior officers must adhere strictly to the Police Service Regulations, 2012 (C.I. 76). The Police Service is seeking to overturn the Court of Appeal's decision and restore the original High Court judgement, arguing that the court overstepped its authority and interfered with established promotion procedures.
