Superintendent of Police, George L. Asare, one of the witnesses in connection to the leaked tape to oust IGP George Akuffo Dampare, has said he was only expressing an opinion when he suggested COP Alex Mensah as a potential candidate for the IGP position to Bugri Naabu.
Superintendent Asare noted that he is a small boy in the service, and he was only expressing an opinion.
“Honorable chair, I was just expressing my opinion, it was just an expression of an opinion. Because I do not have the capacity to appoint an Inspector General of Police, I am too small,” he said.
Appearing before the committee, Supt Asare indicated Bugri Naabu asked him in one of their meetings if he had somebody in mind to be recommended to be a new IGP.
He responded that COP Alex Mensah was the most qualified candidate among the other commissioners of police.
“I told him of course Yes. So, he asked me who that person was, and I mentioned Commissioner of Police, George Alex Mensah’s name to him,” he added.
Ghana’s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.
