Franklin Cudjoe, the President of IMANI Africa, has praised George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector General of Police, lauding him as an “excellent” appointee by President Akufo-Addo. In a recent Facebook post, Cudjoe voiced his strong support for the police chief and urged the President to disregard any attempts to remove him from his position.
The IMANI boss expressed his admiration for the current Inspector General of Police, stating that his appointment stands out as one of the finest decisions made by President Akufo-Addo during his seven years in office. Cudjoe’s commendation of IGP Dampare highlighted the level of professionalism and dedication he has brought to the position.
“Mr. President, ignore those treasonable elements planning to oust the Inspector General of Police (IGP). Much as we at IMANI would have wished the power to appoint the IGP should be taken away from your office and vested in a police electoral college, we say without equivocation that the current IGP is one of the very few excellent appointments you have made in seven years,” Cudjoe asserted in his Facebook post.
The IMANI President further warned against removing IGP Dampare, cautioning that such a move could perpetuate the notion of the President’s inclination to discard capable and competent individuals in the face of political pressures.
“Remove the IGP, and you would have lent credence to the ignoble and infamous sagas of your penchant for throwing good men and women to political hounds on a whim. May this not be part of your enduring legacy,” Cudjoe implored.
George Akuffo Dampare assumed office as the Inspector General of Police in [Year], succeeding his predecessor in the pivotal role. Under his leadership, the Ghanaian Police Force has witnessed notable improvements and initiatives aimed at enhancing public safety and maintaining law and order.
The endorsement from IMANI Africa adds to the growing chorus of support for IGP Dampare’s leadership, with various stakeholders acknowledging his commitment to the service and his dedication to upholding the rule of law.
As the debate over the future of the IGP continues, the President faces a crucial decision on whether to retain the respected police chief or acquiesce to calls for his removal. The situation remains fluid, with citizens closely monitoring how events will unfold in the coming days.
President Akufo-Addo’s office has not yet issued an official response to Franklin Cudjoe’s remarks, leaving uncertainty regarding the future of IGP Dampare’s tenure as the head of the Ghanaian Police Force.
