LEAKED TAPE PROBE: THIS IS NOT FAIR – IGP Reacts To ‘Worst IGP’ Tag

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare says he is pained over the “unfounded” allegations levelled against him by his subordinates in the Police Service.

COP George Alex Mensah, one of the individuals being investigated for a leaked tape plotting the ousting of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, has asserted that the Police service is well off without its current boss.

COP George Alex Mensah, who reappeared before the parliamentary committee tasked by Speaker Alban Bagbin to probe the leaked tape, on September 1, emphatically stated that in the history of IGPs, Dr George Akuffo Dampare is the worst.

“What I said yesterday, if you give me a chance, I’ll say so again. He is not managing the police service well.

“And for me, for the 31 years that I’ve been in the service, I can tell you that he is the worst IGP we have ever had in this country,” he said.

COP George Alex Mensah, however, did not provide justification for his assertion, as the committee noted that it would be unfair on the part of Dr George Dampare to be accused without his presence to agree or refuse.

Earlier, COP George Alex Mensah claimed that majority of officers in the Police Service are dissatisfied with the IGP.

But before the Committee today, Dr George Akuffo Dampare refuted these claims. According to him, he finds this assertion unfair as no shred of evidence has been brought against him.

“I am an innocent person, focusing on my job, working with my team members, all commands across the country to keep the country safe and make it to be at peace with itself. I’ve been asked to answer these allegations which are wide, baseless,” he said.

“I’m free in my spirit that this is just unfair. It is just unfair,” an emotional IGP emphasised.

The IGP quizzed whether there is an agenda to kill patriotism.

“Are we killing patriotism, that anybody can get up make allegations upon allegations and people who go across the country sometimes 48 hours without sleep, just keeping the country at peace to be called to answer allegations that are unfounded,” he said.
