Journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has weighed in on President John Dramani Mahama's decision to replace Dr.

George Akuffo Dampare as Inspector General of Police (IGP), emphasizing that the president has the right to choose his own security chiefs.

Reacting to the ongoing debate, particularly criticisms from IMANI Africa, Manasseh argued that Mahama should not be compelled to retain Dampare simply because some believe he is a "good man." "For months now, my friends at IMANI have waged a sustained campaign on a rather unsustainable argument that President Mahama must maintain Dr.

George Akuffo Dampare as the Inspector General of Police because Dampare is one of the few good men around," he wrote.
