The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare is leading trends on Twitter after Commissioner of Police (COP), Alex Mensah described him as the worst-ever IGP in the history of Ghana.
Some Ghanaians who took to social media to react to the comment lambasted COP Alex Mensah for the remarks and indicated that the comment
Others believe that IGP Dampare's enforcement of professionalism and the fight against corruption in the police service has contributed to the negative remark made by COP Alex Mensah
The reaction comes after COP Alex Mensah said during a hearing of the committee on Friday, September 1, 2023, that IGP Dampare is the worst in the history of the country.
One individual wrote on Twitter, “GP Dr. Akufo Dampare's crime is introducing professionalism into the Ghana Police. The police used to parade innocent Ghanaians as criminals and discharge them hours after media briefing. The IGP has stopped that unfortunate practice so they think is a problem to the service.”
Another person accused some top personalities in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the people influencing IGP Dampare’s removal from office due to his intolerance of corrupt activities.
“Some high-ranking police officers & NPP gurus still plotting to remove IGP Dampare from office because they deem him a threat to their corrupt practices. It won’t work!” another person wrote on Twitter.

This man is very bitter and hates Dampare to the core. Imagine having him as IGP. He would've turned Ghana into a jungle by now. https://t.co/0FNRQPRnMo
I hope you also heard that part that was confirmed that Dampare actually got a lot of promotions during the NDC era but he was never promoted until the NPP also came to power. Per this logic Dampare is an NDC guy.
