Bagbin orders MPs to obey ban on unauthorised sirens and police escorts
Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, directed all Members of Parliament (MPs) to comply fully with the government's directive banning the unauthorised installation and use of sirens and police escort services on public and private vehicles on Tuesday, July 21. He urged MPs to strictly observe the directive, stressing that lawmakers must not engage in practices that undermine road safety or violate the law.
This directive follows a communication from the Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, informing Parliament of a Cabinet decision to intensify enforcement against the indiscriminate use of sirens and police escorts by unauthorised persons. Speaker Bagbin noted that the widespread use of sirens by unauthorised individuals erodes public confidence in legitimate state authority and diminishes the effectiveness of emergency and security agencies. Cabinet has also directed the Ghana Police Service to remove all unauthorised sirens installed on vehicles and discontinue police escort services that have not received official approval.
