The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has instructed the Clerk of Parliament to deliver a copy of the investigative findings concerning the leaked tape plotting to remove the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. T
This action follows the House’s approval of the committee’s report.
The report, notably unsigned by its Chairman Samuel Atta Akyea, uncovered that three senior police officers—COP Alex George Mensah, Supt. George Lysander Asare, and Supt. Emmanuel Eric Gyebi—had engaged in misconduct.
This behavior constitutes a severe breach under Police regulations, necessitating disciplinary action as per established Police disciplinary procedures.
Upon the House’s adoption of the report, Speaker Bagbin declared, “The report is accordingly adopted. I hereby direct the Clerk to Parliament to make available a copy of this report, which has just been adopted by the House, to His Excellency, the President, as Chairman of the Police Council for any further action deemed necessary.”
The parliamentary committee concluded its inquiry into the leaked tape that implicated the senior officers in a plot to unseat IGP George Akuffo Dampare.
The committee’s recommendations included disciplinary measures against COP Mensah, Supt. Asare, and Supt. Gyebi for their violations of police regulations and professional conduct codes. These infractions involved activities that entangled them in political disputes and potential abuse of their positions.
The committee urged Parliament to notify President Akufo-Addo of these findings, aligning with Section 19 of the Police Service Act, 1970 (Act 350), which authorizes the president to enforce disciplinary sanctions.
The President’s response is now anticipated to address the breach of trust and protocol within the police ranks.
