Police Commissioner urges govt to remove Dampare because he won’t allow rigging in 2024 polls.
Details of a secret recording that allegedly exposes a plot by influential members of the governing NPP and top police officials to oust the current IGP Dr George Akuffo Dampare are grabbing headlines on Tuesday. Some media houses have transcribed portions of the secret recording that purportedly suggest the plotters are convinced the current Inspector General of Police will thwart plans by the New Patriotic Party to rig the 2024 elections.
To convince the politician, Commissioner Mensa cited the rigorousness of the security the IGP provided during the recent Assin North by-election, saying he will do the same or even more, which might foil any attempt by the NPP to steal victory in the 2024 election.
“This IGP won’t help us. He won’t, he wants everything to be done fairly and we don’t win elections that way. If we don’t remove him, we can’t break the 8, in politics we need machinations and this IGP won’t allow that,” Commissioner Mensa said in the leaked audio.
He went further to express frustration that all his efforts to convince President Akufo Addo to sack IGP Dr Dampare have proved futile. Some audio messages that were meant to be a secret have been leaked. It exposes High-Ranking Police Officials’ plot to remove IGP Dampare from office before the 2024 Election.
According to the report, the unidentified senior police officer whose voice is heard in the secret recording disclosed that vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who is aspiring to be the NPP flagbearer, does not like Dampare. “If you find out yourself, he is not in good terms with Dr Bawumia… find out if you are close to Dr Bawumia because he knows that Dr Bawumia did not recommend him as IGP… Dr Bawumia knows that if we take him to elections we’ll have difficulties,” the online news portal published in its report on the alleged secret tape.
