SACK OR RETAIN? GHANAIANS DELIVER VERDICT ON DR GEORGE DAMPARE’S FUTURE AS IGP

The future of Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), is a hot topic in Ghana. Many people are discussing whether he should be fired or continue as the head of the police.

This debate started because President John Dramani Mahama is making changes to government institutions.

Some people praise Dr. Dampare for being professional and improving safety since he became IGP.

They believe he has done a good job.

On the other hand, some criticize him for facing problems within the police and not being transparent enough.

There are concerns about how the police operate, manage crime, and handle fairness, which has fueled this discussion.

The big question on everyone’s mind is whether Dr. Dampare should be removed or allowed to continue leading the police force in Ghana.

To gauge public opinion, Pulse News conducted polls on social media to hear what Ghanaians think about this important issue.
