  "account": "Ghana's Interior Minister, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has issued an edict prohibiting police officers from engaging in social media activity while on duty. This directive stems from the rise in videos created by police personnel, which the Minister contends tarnish the service's reputation and detract from their primary duty of safeguarding lives and property. The Minister expressed particular concern over the trend of officers and trainees allowing recordings of training sessions to be posted on social media platforms. He emphasized that such training institutions should not serve as venues for content that infringes upon the privacy, dignity, or security of those undergoing instruction. The Minister directed all Service Commanders to implement controls to prevent unauthorized recording, dissemination, and sharing of images or videos of trainees in training. He underscored that these institutions are environments of discipline, professionalism, and service, and should not be exploited for content that could compromise the welfare of those learning to serve in uniform. The Minister urged all Service Commanders to promptly implement these regulations and ensure that officers and trainers under their supervision comprehend the gravity of these directives.",
