Nii Ayitey Anumle Oyanka I, chief of Oblieman at Ga West Municipality in the Greater Accra Region has lauded the decision of appointing Commissioner of Police (COP), Dr George Akuffo-Dampare as Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) but he expresses fear he (Dampare) would not be allowed to work.
According to Nii Ayitey Oyanka I who also Doubles as Council Of International Chambers of Commerce (ICC) CEO For West African, Mr. Akuffo-Dampare is a hard working and “no-nonsense” officer but a nice gentle Police Chief who feared would not be allowed to work well.
Speaking to Nationaltymes.com in an interview at his residence in Accra, the Oblieman Overlord expressed fear that “I know Dr. Dampare very well and how he works according to his conscience to see that things are done right.
“He is strict and he does not entertain corruption, to him white is always white, and I trust him, and like I said….but let’s see”, Nii Oblieman hopes.
In described COP Dr Akuffo-Dampare’s appointment as a very excellent choice, Nii urged President Akufo-Addo to just confirm him as the substantive IGP because he would performance follwing his accumulated experience to become COP.
COP Dampare appointment could not come later than this time, especially at this point in the life of the Police Service where there were lots of credibilty issues and lack of public confidence in terms of the rising crimes and indiscipline within the Police Service.
As friendly as he is, I was surprised he was the first Police chief who called to command after my traditional installation ceremony exactly 6 years ago, Nii recollected.
NiiAyitey Oyanka I, further stated that “COP Dr Akuffo-Dampare’s background in the Police Service for some decades now, you could see he has occupied very high-level and important positions in the Police Service and in all those positions he has delivered”.
The Oblieman Overlord was quick to add that, COP Dampare, as a human being has his ups and downs which people would complain bitterly about, but that not withstanding, the man is all-round Police chief who understands the work of Police Service very well.
