The committee tasked with investigating the leaked tape containing allegations against Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, is divided over their final report.

Chairman Samuel Atta Akyea has allegedly disowned the widely circulated report, claiming it lacks his signature and that he was not consulted on its conclusions.

Atta Akyea, also MP for Abuakwa South, objected to the committee's decision not to call additional witnesses to substantiate allegations, particularly concerning supposed extrajudicial killings under Dr. Dampare's supervision.

In response, Atta Akyea plans to present his own report, highlighting his dissenting views.

This disagreement led Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh Dompreh to delay presenting the report to Parliament on June 18, 2024, as he lacked Atta Akyea's approval.

However, Kennedy Agyapong was later authorized by Atta Akyea to lay the report on his behalf.

Meanwhile, excerpts from the report reveal that two police officers, Superintendent George Lysander Asare and Superintendent Emmanuel Gyebi, were found to have lied under oath during their testimonies before the committee.

"Supt Gyebi, during his testimony under oath on August 31, 2023, denied ever speaking directly to Chief Bugri Naabu on his phone or on the phone of Supt Asare. However, when he appeared before the committee again on October 10, 2023, he changed his earlier testimony and affirmed that he indeed spoke to Chief Bugri Naabu on the phone," part of the report reads.

The report quoted the senior police officer as follows: "And the question I quote 'have you ever spoken to someone on Supt Asare's phone who claims to be Bugri Naabu?' And the answer I gave is incorrect. I answered no, and I want to change it to yes."

Regarding Superintendent Lysander Asare, the report noted that he falsely denied being present during a phone conversation between Superintendent Gyebi and Chief Bugri Naabu, a former Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) central to the leaked tape.

"Supt Asare also, in answering a question under oath posed by Hon. Peter Lanchene Toobu on September 4, 2023, on whether he was present when Chief Bugri Naabu spoke to Supt Eric Emmanuel Gyebi on the phone, responded in the negative. However, he changed his initial response to this question to the affirmative when he appeared before the Committee on October 10, 2023."

He is also quoted as saying, "Hon. Chairman, I want to change my answer to 'I was there when they spoke' because at that time the question was not all that straightforward."

The committee determined that the officers were in contempt of Parliament under Order 30 of the Standing Orders of Parliament (2000), as amended by Order 31 (f) of the Standing Orders of Parliament (2024).
