Whether you give or accept bribes, the police say it is a criminal act! According to the Tarkwa District Police Commander, Supt. Slim Mumford, some people influence the Police with money to secure bail for their relations, and has reminded the public that the giver and receiver of the money are both liable before the law. During an interaction with pressmen at a get-together at the weekend, Supt. Mumford said granting of bail to suspects from police custody does not attract any charges. He commended the press for the cordial relations with the police, adding, "let us maintain and strengthen the cordiality between the police and the press." Supt. Mumford advised pressmen not to hide their identity when reporting on an incident so as not to scare the public and also to avert a section of the public from attacking them. Supt. Mumford told the reporters to cross-check their facts before publishing to avoid rejoinders and law suits, adding, " these make one a good Journalist". Nana Kwabena Gyan, a veteran broadcaster thanked the District Commander for creating a platform for such an interaction. Source GNA
