Leaked Tape Probe: My 31 years experience shows Dampare as the worst IGP ever–COP Mensah
During his appearance before the parliamentary committee investigating the alleged plot to remove Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, COP George Alex Mensah, a senior police officer involved in the matter, reiterated his criticism of the current IGP. He described Dr. Dampare as the worst IGP in Ghana’s history. COP Mensah expressed these sentiments during his testimony on Friday, September 1, where he stated, “In my 31 years of service,”I can tell you that for the 31 years that I have been in the Police Service, this IGP is the worst IGP,” COP Mensah further claimed that he had previously raised concerns and suggestions to the IGP regarding issues within the Police Service that were negatively impacting the morale of police officers.

These statements align with his earlier remarks to the committee, where he had expressed that IGP Dampare’s leadership style had contributed to a decline in morale among many police officers.
