Mr Oppong Boanuh said all officers were expected to, without any excuse, be in the traditional police uniforms.

He said the monies given to them were a routine duty allowance and not what the leading opposition politicians were saying in certain quarters, adding that there was a similar disbursement during the COVID-19 lockdown.
