Andrew Asiamah Amoako, the 2nd Deputy Speaker of Parliament, commended Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare for his innovative and effective leadership of the Ghana Police Service.

Mr. Amoako highlighted that the IGP and the current Police Management Board have been instrumental in maintaining the country’s stability and advancing its democratic credentials.

He praised Dr. Dampare's contributions, showing trust in his capability to lead the Police Service in protecting the nation's peace and democratic values.

“We believe that a major part of the success of our democracy depends on the Ghana Police Service. We are here to present this democracy cup to you IGP as a symbolic gesture so that as the holder of the peace of this country, we can implore you to continue holding our peace together as you have always done with your administration since you took over.”

“We are grateful for your leadership. The transformation in the police service under you has been inspirational, and we are grateful,” he said.

In response, the IGP assured the parliamentary delegation that he and his team are encouraged by the acknowledgment from the legislative chamber and remain committed to their responsibilities of safeguarding and upholding the country's democracy.
