The Minister of Interior, Mubarak Muntaka, has stated that he has no power as minister to suggest the removal of the Inspector General of Police, Dr.
George Akuffo Dampare.
When asked by the Minority Leader of Parliament, Afenyo-Markin, during the ministerial vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament on January 24, 2025, Muntaka explained that the president is the only person who can decide on whom to work with. "What would be your own advice to anybody who will suggest that the IGP, an appointee of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who is not 60 years old and is an energetic, competent IGP, should be removed by virtue of a change in power?
What would be your advice?" Afenyo-Markin asked.
