Renowned scholar and political commentator Professor Ransford Gyampo expressed concern in a recent Facebook post about what he sees as a last-minute plot to remove the Inspector General of Police (IGP). Gyampo said in his scathing tweet that these attempts were a part of a larger scheme to disrupt the peaceful handover of power to President-elect John Dramani Mahama.
"They say what after we revealed the absurd last-minute attempt to fire the IGP for thwarting the 2024 rigging scheme and the covert plan not to turn it over to JM? Be silent if you don't know! We will continue to hold NADAA accountable! In his letter, Gyampo expressed his annoyance at what he sees as efforts to sabotage democratic procedures and damage the IGP's reputation for holding free and fair elections.
Concerns regarding the integrity of Ghana's election process, namely the IGP's function in thwarting purported rigging attempts, are reflected in Gyampo's remarks.The professor claims that the IGP is targeting him for removal because of his opposition to these purported plans, a move Gyampo calls "nonsensical." Additionally, he mentions a "secret plan not to hand over to JM" in his message, indicating his concern that the departing administration might not respect the democratic transition.Gyampo's declaration also demonstrates his resolve to hold those in authority responsible, especially President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo (commonly known as NADAA), indicating his refusal to let such behavior to continue unchallenged.His appeal to "hold NADAA's feet to fire" highlights the necessity of public watchfulness and ongoing pressure on those in charge of Ghana's political and governance systems.
Many people are outraged by the accusations, and the post has sparked a lot of internet discussion. Gyampo's supporters have applauded the IGP's actions and demanded further protection for personnel who uphold the voting system's integrity. Others, however, contend that the accusations need a thorough examination before they can be considered facts and have demanded hard proof to back up these grave assertions. Gyampo's remarks serve as a reminder of the significance of accountability and openness in preserving Ghana's democracy as the country gets ready for a peaceful handover of power.
