He proposes that the IGP role “should be more about your competence and should be more about the favour of God, and I think we should see that position as a position of leadership and not an entitlement”.
“If you say you are an NDC member or NPP member, so you are lobbying for it, it means that you are not there to serve your country and you are there to play political cards. If you allow them to play NDC or NPP political party card, we are in this country, and the tables may turn tomorrow and create problems”.
In relation to the allegations against Dr Dampare, he said he knows Dr Dampare and what he can do to address corrupt and unlawful cases in the country.
He suggested that the IGP should be allowed to address all the allegations levelled against him by Bugri Naabu and the three senior police officers.
“IGP Dampare should be given the opportunity to appear before the committee. I know Dampare for who he is, and I know he is not afraid to appear before the committee”.
However, he expressed disappointment that Dr Dampare’s response would be heard in camera.
“I’m disappointed they are not making his hearing in public because we want to hear the IGP speaking. We don’t want any third party to come and explain things to the public. We want him to speak publicly, addressing all the allegations levelled against him,” he told Joy News in an interview.
Meanwhile, IGP Dr George Akuffo Dampare is expected to appear before parliament’s ad-hoc committee today, September 12, 2023.
