Today, we want to celebrate a noble and dignified Police Officer, Chief Inspector Francis Mawuli Sosu as he draws the curtains to the end of his 39 years of service to Ghana.
The journey of Chief Inspector Francis Mawuli Sosu, who is affectionately called FM by his colleagues, began some 39 years ago when he was enlisted into the Ghana Police Service on 1st March 1982. It was at the time, not the much sought- after road that it is today.
Chief Inspector Sosu was posted to the Regional Police Headquarters, Ho, after passing out as a Constable. He was later transferred to the National Police Headquarters, Quartermaster Stores Accra, on May 6, 2002.
By dint of hard work, he rose through the ranks steadily to become the Station Officer and subsequently a trainer for personnel posted to the Quarter Master Unit.
From 2005 to 2006, he had the opportunity to serve in Darfur on the African Union Mission (AMISOM) where he held the position of Teamsite Administrative Officer and was recognised as and awarded the best Teamsite Administrative officer on October 14, 2006.
Chief Inspector Francis Mawuli Sosu returned to Ghana after a distinguished service in Darfur, to continue his work as the Station Officer at the Quarter Master Stores, Headquarters, from where he is finally retiring today.
He is a man of dignity and gives respect to both his superiors and subordinates. Adorned with a beautiful smile and a soft voice, Chief Sosu is loved by all.
Apart from work, he is known to spend time with his family; his lovely wife and two children.
Chief Inspector Francis Mawuli Sosu, we appreciate your loyalty, faithfulness and dedication to the Ghana Police Service in particular and Ghana as a whole. You will be sorely missed as you retire.
We celebrate you for your selfless service and you have certainly earned what we believe will be an enjoyable retirement!
