A survey conducted by Global InfoAnalytics shows that in every five (5) Ghanaians, four (4) of them are glad Dr. George Akufo-Dampare was removed from office as the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
In a post made by the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, only one (1) out of five (5) Ghanaians opposed the sacking of Dr. Akufo Dampare.
From the survey, a majority of Ghanaians however strangely applauded Dr. Akufo Damapre for his performance during the December 7, 2024 general elections.
He wrote on his Facebook page, “Nearly 3 in 4 voters rate Dr Akufo Dampares’ performance very high during the election, but only 1 in 5 oppose his sacking.”
The survey’s results have sparked discussions on the reasons behind Dampare’s removal, despite his widely acknowledged professionalism.
Some analysts believe political considerations may have played a role, while others argue it reflects a broader issue of leadership transitions in key state institutions.
President John Dramani Mahama has appointed COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the new Inspector General of Police (IGP).
COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno’s appointment comes following the John Mahama sacking of the former IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
In a statement by the Minister of Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the President, in accordance with the Constitution and the Council of State, made the appointment.
“President John Dramani Mahama has in accordance with Articles 91 and 202 of the 1992 constitution and in consultation with the Council of State, appointed Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the Inspector-General of Police.
“He replaces COP Dr George Akuffo Dampare.
“COP Yohuno brings forty years of experience to the position of IGP and is expected to oversee the modernization and transformation of the Ghana Police Service,” the statement said.
The new IGP Yohunu, who is said to be a seasoned officer with forty years of experience in law enforcement, assumes the role of IGP at a time when the police service is undergoing critical reforms.
