The hallowed halls of the Ghanaian Parliament have recently been a witness to a riveting spectacle as the accused in the leaked plot to oust the IGP, face intense scrutiny by the seven member panel tasked to probe the tape.
So far a former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bugri Naabu, COP Alex Mensah and Superintendent George Asare have appeared before the panel.
During his appearance before the committee on Monday, September 4, 2023, Supt Asare declined making any public comments about the performance of the IGP, despite making startling claims about the IGP in the recording that has sent shockwaves across the country.
“Honorable chair, as humble and obedient servant as I am, who am I to sit in public and comment about the performance of my IGP or the police administration? I can never pass comments in public like that,” he said.
Yet, when asked whether he would be willing to offer a professional evaluation of the IGP’s performance in a more private and confidential setting, Supt. Asare indicated his preparedness to do so.
He affirmed, “Exactly so.”
Superintendent of Police George L. Asare is among a trio of high-ranking police officials under investigation by a 7-member committee due to their alleged involvement in the leaked recording purportedly aimed at ousting IGP Dampare from his position, citing mismanagement of the Ghana Police Service as the reason.
