Islamic SHS chaos: Parliament, Police can’t investigate brutalities at the same time – Majority Chief Whip

The Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has told Parliament that the legislature and the Ghana Police Service cannot at the same time investigate the alleged police brutalities meted out to some students of the Islamic Senior High School in Kumasi on Monday, June 13, 2022.

He says such concurrent investigations by two public institutions is never done anywhere in the world.

At best, he said Parliament could wait for the Police to conclude its investigations and if their findings are not convincing enough, they could then launch their own inquiries into the matter.

“Mr. Speaker, the IGP has issued some orders – that investigation is conducted into this matter. I don’t think Parliament should at the same time begin another investigation. For two public institutions to concurrently conduct investigations into the same matter is a matter that is worrying”, he noted.

He added, “Parliament should wait for the Police to conclude their investigations into the matter”.
