The Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has claimed that the interim Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has done a good job thus far.
He claims that the acting IGP, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has put in place practical security measures to deal with the increase in crime.
Dr. Dampare has only been in office for a month, having taken over as police chief from IGP Oppong Bonuh.
However, Oppong Nkrumah told Citi News that the government is glad that the new IGP and his team are handling security challenges head-on.
He also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to investing in the service in order to combat crime.
“The government is pleased that the IGP and the revived police team are taking the bull by the horns and literally on a daily basis is on the offensive and also updating the country. One of the things that used to be rare is the conference of Regional Commanders, the new IGP quickly called one focusing on the issues of robbery, homicides and appears to be tackling them and keeps updating the country.”
