IGP, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare [L] and President John Mahama
Founding President of Policy think tank Franklin Cudjoe says it will be unfortunate if President Mahama yields to extreme partisanship and removes the Inspector-General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Mr Cudjoe wrote “It would be sad if someone who has been a true professional, risen through the ranks and changed the face of policing, enhanced our nation’s security and crucially survived all daggers from within and outside the service would be relieved of his position without any adverse findings. We must insist on professionalism instead of extreme partisanship. There are few good men. Keep them when you find them.”
Also taking to Facebook, the Vice President of Imani cautioned the President against repeating the mistakes of President Akuffo-Addo as in the case of Daniel Domelevo.
“This IGP has been great at his job and Should have been retained for all our sakes. But even if President Mahama wants to repeat the mistakes of NPP, he should at least signal that he accepts the rule of law and wait for the Supreme Court to rule. We hope Ghana will See the promised reset instead of repeating the sins of the NPP in worst form”.
Dr Dampare is a serving Police officer with 5 years to go until he will be due for retirement.
