Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, Superintendent Cephas Arthur has stated the shakeup in the Ghana Police Service is not political.

According to him, the reassignment of Ashanti Regional Police Commander COP Nathan Kofi Boakye and other officers is not because there is a change of government.

"Transfers have been a part of the Police Service. The transfers were meant to enhance the delivery of service by the officers. It is all in the interest of Ghana,” Supt. Arthur told Accra FM.“The transfers were not because there had been a change of government. When John Kudalor came, he transferred some officers. When Mohammed Alhassan took over from Paul Quaye he also transferred some officers to different locations within the same government, and, so, it is when police leadership changes that the transfers are done, not when government changes. Every IGP has his own mission, hence the transfers.”

On Tuesday February 7, COP Kofi Boakye was reassigned to head the Accra Police Research and Planning unit.
