'I don't know why that man hasn't been fired' - Afia Schwarzenegger berates IGP

Afia Schwarzenegger is a popular Ghanaian socialite cum comedienne

Afia Schwarzenegger has publicly criticized the Inspector General of Police for not addressing the persistent disrespect that celebrities face from online users.

During a TikTok Live session with Shatta Wale, the socialite voiced her frustration over the IGP's failure to fulfill his commitment to combat cyberbullying, a promise made in a previous meeting with Ghanaian celebrities.

Reflecting on the October 2023 meeting, Afia labeled it as ineffective and absurd, expressing her dissatisfaction with the IGP's lack of action against cyberbullying.

She recalled, "Remember the meeting we had with the IGP? That stupid gathering? He assured us that cyberbullying would be tackled. But Dampare, he infuriates me. His demeanor resembles that of a lost child on a soccer field.

"He never speaks truthfully! What has come of that futile meeting? Seriously, I don't know why they have not fired Dampare. I don't know why that man is still there. Ghana is not safe because of him. He is more interested in his appearance, in publicity, and nothing else."

Shatta Wale chimed in on the matter, noting that speaking out often leads to being labeled disrespectful.

Afia countered by highlighting the principle of mutual respect, questioning the self-respect of the country's leaders, and drawing parallels to biblical teachings on respect between parents and children.

This outburst from Afia comes amid what she describes as relentless attacks on celebrities by media personalities and critics.

She previously condemned the invasive probing into celebrities' private lives during interviews, which she believes has reached the level of harassment.
