New information has emerged regarding the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare's testimony before the Parliamentary Committee investigating the leaked viral tape.

Dr. Dampare was invited to appear before the Ad-hoc committee, and he arrived at Parliament accompanied by senior police officials.

During his appearance, Dr. Dampare is expected to address allegations made against him by some earlier witnesses who testified before the committee.

Initially, the chairman of the committee, Samuel Atta Akyea, indicated that the hearing would be conducted in-camera, emphasizing the need to keep certain aspects of the proceedings confidential to protect national security.

However, today's developments indicate a change in this approach, with parts of the probe now set to be conducted publicly.

On July 25, the Speaker of Parliament appointed Samuel Atta-Akyea, the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, as the chairperson of a 7-member ad-hoc committee tasked with investigating a recently leaked controversial audio recording. This audio recording revealed clandestine discussions about plotting the removal of the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

The audio, which exposed an alleged conspiracy involving a senior police officer and a prominent member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to oust IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, sparked a debate in Parliament. The Minority called for a forensic audit in response to the revelation.

As part of its proceedings, the committee has heard testimonies from individuals such as the former Northern Regional Chairman of the NPP, Daniel Bugri Naabu, as well as COP Alex Mensah and Superintendent George Asare, both of whom have made several allegations against their superior, the IGP.
