In a parliamentary session on Thursday, March 1, 2025, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin made a bold revelation regarding the fate of Inspector General of Police (IGP) George Akuffo Dampare. "Yesterday, we heard of the sacking of IGP Dampare.
We heard that the President has sacked him, and in his place, COP Yonu is taking over," Afenyo-Markin stated.
He further criticized the government's official communication on the matter, highlighting the lack of appreciation for Dampare's service. "In the statement from the government spokesperson and the minister in charge of government communication, there was no gratitude expressed. "The statement issued was to the effect that the President has made a new appointment.
So, the IGP Dampare was sacked yesterday, and there's going to be a swearing-in tomorrow," he added.
