He wrote, ” It is yet a further affirmation of the commitment of the Akufo-Addo government to provide the Police Service with the necessary logistics it requires, to help the Service continue to effect its mandate of maintaining law and order, and protecting lives and property.

“I assure the Police Administration that this is just the beginning.

“Government will increase the number of motorbikes presented by Government to five thousand (5,000) by the end of next year.”

Furthermore, he urged the Inspector General of Police to ensure that no community is left out in the distribution of the bikes, adding that the Police Service should prioritise areas with critical security concerns.

“I entreat officers who will use these bikes to take good care of them but, more importantly, to pay particular attention to their safety and the safety of other road users while on the road, ” he added.
