A Ghanaian police officer has singled himself out as one of the few officers with high integrity as he rejected a bribe from an errant driver and rebuked him for attempting to corrupt him.
A video circulating online shows the young uniformed officer stopping the driver of a tricycle popularly called ‘Mahama Camboo’.
As soon as he asked the driver to park the tricycle for a routine check, he thought all the officer needed was money, so he placed an unknown amount of money inside his license kit which he handed to the officer.
The police officer suddenly got infuriated and rejected the package, asking the driver why he did what he did.
Ignorantly, the driver who thought the officer was unenthused about the quantum of the money started begging him to accept it, saying that was all he could afford.
Then, to his surprise, the police officer who had walked a distance away from him returned to rebuke him.

“Your money would not do anything for me, as I take more salary than you,” the angry officer said, asking “Are you aware how much I am paid a month?”
The officer’s gesture has left many Ghanaians in awe as some of them have been expressing admiration for the police officer.
