The Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party, Richard Ahiagbah, has asserted that the embattled retired Commissioner of Police, George Alex Mensah, is pursuing his personal interests rather than those of the police service in the alleged plot to remove the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
In an interview with the media on Saturday, Ahiagbah stated, “What is happening is clearly an individual’s ambition to advance his interest. It has nothing to do with the NPP or government.”
He suggested that the situation revolves around a particular Commissioner of Police (COP) aspiring to become the IGP and using his connection with Bugri Naabu, who has a close relationship with the President, to further his ambitions.
Ahiagbah also encouraged the committee to remain focused on its specific terms of reference and not delve into matters unrelated to the Police.
Adding to the discussion, Professor Ransford Gyampo criticized the committee for deviating from the evidence and testimonies provided by witnesses during the investigation into the leaked tape.
He expressed concerns about the committee’s allocation of time and attention to issues that should not be their primary focus.
He also emphasized the significance of the President’s appointment of the IGP.
