‘You’re not entitled to automatic promotion’ – Court dismisses suit against IGP

The High Court in Kumasi has dismissed Chief Inspector Samuel Krah's suit against the Inspector-General of Police and the State over his promotion.

Justice Kwasi Anokyi Gyimah ruled that attaining higher academic qualifications does not guarantee automatic promotion.

The court emphasized that promotions are based on competitive examinations or special recommendations per Police Service Regulations.

It encouraged Krah to continue taking entrance exams, suggesting he might succeed in the future. Krah had argued that despite his long service, his junior colleagues were promoted under special amnesty, but the court found his claim unsubstantiated.
