This move is roughly estimated to be a savings to the treasury nearly Rs 40 million salaries etc. plus another huge vehicles and fuel cost monthly .

Not a single transferred police officer will lose his/her job. Wherever they work now, they will use government vehicles and not much savings to the country.

This has no logic. If 300 are transferred, certainly their salary and perks don’t change. It’s only their location and duties. It’s like saying saving 400m by cutting down and then make change and then transfer then to other duties and locations for 800m? Or is it their food, lodging, entertainment……. Have been enjoying?

r u the result of education? or npp propaganda? there is no monetary savings. if it all we will have more officers to serve the public. but this lame random number on savings shows our country is also poor in the mind.

NPP's policy is not wasting public money in vain. So, it is a good move. Thanks to our President.

Mr. President, You need to be vigilant. This is a commendable step forward. As you pursue justice against those responsible for the country's decline over the past 75 years, particularly in the last 15 years, you will likely attract opposition. It is essential that you have a trustworthy security team in place, supported by a robust intelligence system. Without these precautions, you could be at risk of a military coup, similar to those seen in Myanmar and Pakistan, especially with the potential backing of powerful nations.
