“So, Ghana is ready, to all the tourists, I want to assure you that Ghana is ready, the police is ready, come and enjoy our hospitality. We will protect you and all your belongings,” the IGP said at a meeting with the leadership of the Trade Unions Congress (TUC) at the Police Headquarters on Wednesday.
