NCCE Engages Security Services on Constitutional Values and Responsible Digital Conduct in Yendi

The Yendi Municipal Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has organized separate educational engagements for personnel of the Ghana Prisons Service and the Ghana Immigration Service as part of activities marking the 2026 Constitution Week Celebration.

The program was held under the national theme, “Upholding Our Constitution in a Digital Age: Our Collective Responsibility,” and sought to deepen participants’ understanding of the 1992 Constitution and its relevance to the work of security personnel.

Addressing the officers, the Yendi Municipal Director of NCCE, Mr. Osman Kassim, underscored the need for security personnel to exercise discretionary power responsibly and within the confines of the law. He explained that the use of discretionary authority must be guided by fairness, accountability, transparency, legality, impartiality, and proportionality to ensure justice and the protection of human rights.

Mr. Kassim also educated participants on responsible online behavior and digital etiquette. He highlighted the dangers associated with misinformation, disinformation, cyberbullying, and other forms of inappropriate online conduct, stressing the need for officers to be mindful of their actions on digital platforms.

He further urged personnel of both the Ghana Prisons Service and the Ghana Immigration Service to uphold professionalism, integrity, and respect for constitutional principles in the discharge of their official duties as well as in their digital engagements.

The engagements formed part of NCCE’s nationwide Constitution Week activities aimed at promoting constitutional awareness and encouraging responsible citizenship in the digital age.
