Dr. George Akuffo Dampare and Nitiwul
Former Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, has cautioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, to reconsider some of his actions, warning that failure could leave him isolated after retirement.
According to Nitiwul, many individuals within the Ghana Police Service, as well as members of both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), are dissatisfied with Dampare’s administration.
He warned that if these concerns are not addressed, they could have serious consequences for the IGP in the future.
“Since I got to know the IGP, it has been over three years that we worked together. He has had his ups and downs, but I believe that as an IGP, one must be bold and loyal, it’s as simple as that. He should not focus on pleasing the crowd. If you want to be effective in your work, you must avoid pleasing the public at all costs, as that could end up damaging the police service,” Nitiwul stated.
“He is doing his best, but it appears that many people are not happy with him, especially within the NPP. Even within the NDC, there are many who are dissatisfied,” he added.
The Member of Parliament for Bimbila further added, “I told him that people are complaining. A lot of people initially supported his appointment as IGP, but that support is no more. He needs to change his approach, or else, after retirement, he may find himself alone.
“If you retire and organize an event, a funeral or any gathering how many people will actually show up? If you’ve worked with both the NPP and NDC and invited them, but no one comes, you should ask yourself some serious questions,” Nitiwul said in an interview on Asaasepa FM, which was shared on social media.
