Security analyst, Professor Kwesi Aning, has expressed his lack of surprise over reports suggesting that there are efforts to oust Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare. According to Prof. Aning, the IGP has been facing conspiracies since his appointment due to his efforts to transform the police institution and serve the Ghanaian public.
Prof. Aning made these comments in an interview on Morning Starr with Naa Dedei Tettey. He emphasized that the IGP's detractors will criticize him regardless of his actions, citing baseless accusations such as alleged unauthorized withdrawals from the IGP's account and dubious promotions.
The security analyst noted that effective leaders will always face opposition, but it's the assessment of decision-makers that truly matters. He emphasized that if the IGP is removed, it would be a loss for the Republic of Ghana and its security governance, rather than a personal loss for Dr. Dampare.
Prof. Aning pointed out that the IGP has been working hard to transform the police institution and serve the Ghanaian public. He noted that Dr. Dampare's efforts have been met with resistance from some quarters, but he remains committed to his vision for the police service.
The security analyst expressed his concern that the rumors surrounding the IGP's potential removal could be a distraction from the important work that needs to be done to improve the police service. He emphasized that the IGP's focus should be on continuing to transform the police institution and serving the Ghanaian public.
Prof. Aning's comments come at a time when there are growing concerns about the potential politicization of the police service. He emphasized that the police service should remain impartial and focused on serving the Ghanaian public, rather than being used as a tool for political gain.
In conclusion, Prof. Aning's comments highlight the challenges that the IGP faces in his efforts to transform the police institution and serve the Ghanaian public. Despite the rumors surrounding his potential removal, the IGP remains committed to his vision for the police service, and it is essential that he is allowed to continue his work without distraction or interference.
The security analyst's comments also emphasize the importance of ensuring that the police service remains impartial and focused on serving the Ghanaian public. This is essential for maintaining public trust and confidence in the police service, and for ensuring that the police are able to effectively carry out their duties.
