According to Dr George Akuffo Dampare, his biggest fear is walking away from the position of Inspector-General of Police and not getting someone better to come and continue.

He asserted that the good work he has done in the Ghana Police Service if his replacement is not better than he is the progress made by the service will be destroyed.

Speaking to some youth congregations of the Methodist Church Ghana, Dr George Akuffo Dampare revealed, “When it comes to life, and the job that I do, my biggest fear is walking out of the position in which I find myself today and not getting somebody who is better than me to come and continue”.

He further explained, “My colleague will tell you and I am saying that for a divine reason, I keep telling God all the time, if all that I am doing with my colleagues as a team you cannot get somebody who is better than us to come and continue by maintaining what we have achieved and building upon it then why are you allowing us to do it.

Because somebody who is not better than us will come and destroy it anyway, so that’s my biggest fear”, he added.

Former IGP Dampare in a heartfelt statement issued on March 14, 2025, just hours after Christian Tetteh Yohuno was sworn in as the new IGP, Dr. Dampare reflected on his service, acknowledging the overwhelming love, encouragement, and prayers from the Ghanaian people.

“From the depths of my heart, I thank God and every Ghanaian who believed in me, supported me, and prayed for me. Your blessings have been my strength,” he said.

Despite his abrupt exit, the former IGP maintained a gracious tone, extending his appreciation to former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for entrusting him with the position, which made him the youngest IGP in the Fourth Republic.

He also acknowledged President John Dramani Mahama for their brief but professional working relationship.

Dr. Dampare did not hold back in recognizing the unwavering support from religious and traditional leaders, security agencies, civil society organizations, and international partners who stood by him throughout his leadership.

Looking back on his remarkable 35-year journey in the Ghana Police Service—rising from a General Constable to the highest office in the force—he expressed pride in his legacy. “I have given my all to the service of this nation, and I leave with my head held high,” he declared.

At nearly 55 years old, Dampare made it clear that his journey is far from over. “I remain energetic, disciplined, and committed to serving my beloved Ghana with honor and integrity,” he affirmed.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama on Friday, March 14, at the Jubilee House has sworn in COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the new Inspector General of Police (IGP).

John Dramani Mahama called for urgent measures to eliminate corruption within the Ghana Police Service, emphasizing the need for greater transparency and accountability in law enforcement.

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the new Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, President Mahama highlighted the detrimental effects of corruption on justice and public trust.

“Mr. IGP, your role will also involve rooting out corruption within the service”.

He further stated, “Corruption in law enforcement undermines justice and weakens public confidence in our security agencies.”

The President urged the new IGP to take decisive action against all forms of misconduct, including bribery and abuse of power, ensuring that officers uphold the highest standards of integrity in their duties.

“It is crucial that all forms of unethical behaviour, from bribery to the abuse of power, are decisively dealt with,” he added.
