President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has clarified that the think tank's ongoing legal challenge regarding the removal of Dr George Akuffo Dampare as Inspector General of Police (IGP) is not aimed at derailing President John Mahama's administration but is a broader effort to protect good governance and uphold the Constitution.
In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, Mr Cudjoe noted that while the President has the right to appoint or remove certain public officers, IMANI's case - filed at the Supreme Court in March 2024 - seeks clarification on whether such removals are constitutionally valid when not based on proven misconduct or other stipulated grounds. "This morning's injunction filed by our lawyers was in furtherance of a suit filed by IMANI and Prof.
Kwesi Aning LAST YEAR, MARCH 2024, at the Supreme Court, 9 months before the December elections.
It is not a fresh case, and the injunction request was based on many published rumours about Dampare's removal.
